Hmmmm - I've always thought Trac was great.  It has some minor
annoyances - it slows down, but in general I think its just great
from a user(me) point of view.

But I'm not married to it.

In general, I think the Boost Steering Commity - BS commitee for
short - making good decisions here.

a) One thing at a time - if that's possible
i) moving to GIT
ii) testing - separate issue.
iii) issue  tracking - separate issue
iv) considering CMake - separate issue

I've been using SVN and GIT and I though I don't have
a huge preference, I see that GIT will be an improvement
and will scale better.

I would like to see the next thing - the testing - tweaked to make
the default that a "trunk/expermental" library be tested against
the the "next release" - that is the current release branch. I don't
think this would be particularly disruptive change and I think it
would have a number of benefits.

I would like to personally thank the BS commitee for taking
on this thankless task.  It's a huge pain and they are going to
get a lot of grief for it - but we really need to move on.
