I have no problem with replacing websvn & bugzilla, these are largely
unused by me. Integration of accounts is brilliant.
However I have grown attached to MediaWiki, in comparison Trac,
currently looks butt ugly. MediaWiki's user interface is much better in
my opinion. Some points off the top of my head:
* MediaWiki displays a 'Link_with_underscores' as 'Link with
underscores' which beats the pants of enforced LinkWithCaps.
* Some pages haven't been transferred correctly (wrong namespace):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/trac/wiki/People_involved vs
http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/People_involved
* Does trac support user homepages or talk pages eg:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/Talk:People_involved
http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/User:Moreati
