I think that when people commit updates, they should make a quick scan of the trac list to see if there are tickets open that the commit may close. I think it is reasonable to expect people to do that, but that is not hapenning, nor has it ever happened for many committers. Even a comment saying "didn't check if it fixed anything, but updated it -good luck" sort of comments if you don't have time for more is all I'm asking for. It would be a big help. Treating it as someone else's problem even to look at trac before or after committing is just not being a responsible community member in my view. </end-of-scolding :)>

I find Trac remarkably frustrating. For example, when I search for issues, the first thing it does is shows me wiki entries, changesets, and issues, both open and closed. All I want is to search across open issues, but I don't know how to do that. Makes it hard to find out if there is an open ticket for any given problem.

View Tickets -> Custom Query

* remove Owner * add Summary * add Keywords (optional)

For the purposes of searching open tickets, I just click "active tickets" and do a browser search. I haven't used a custom query in ages. Mark
