Introduction
The Kent Computing Society now provides Subversion Repositories and Trac instances for student projects. Trac is a popular web-based project management tool; it is a combinbed wiki, issue/bug/ticket tracking and web interface to Subversion. Subversion is fast becoming the standard revision code control system (it's a server where you store all your code, it manages changes and revisions).
These are provided on compsoc1 which is our secured and backed-up linux server.
What do you get?

Please email David at secretary@compsoc.co.uk and include the project name, a list of Kent University login usernames and the username of the person you want to be the administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can anyone with a Kent login view / edit my Trac?
A: Under the default setup, no. Only the list of team members you supply can even view the Trac page. This setup can be changed on request, but you'll want to make sure you've setup the permissions (under the Administration section) correctly first.
