[EHPweb] Selection of EHPDev Project versioning, ticketing and wiki

[Lisa A Wald]

Hello everyone-

After a discussion last week with several members of the larger EHPDev Project, we have selected a single versioning system, ticketing system, and wiki for our Project and for the entire GeoHazards Science Center.  We have been trying to use myUSGS, but it hasn't been widely accepted because it's not so user-friendly.

So... we decided:
versioning -  Trac SVN
ticketing - Trac
wiki - Trac
Trac has packaged and integrated these three functions.

I've moved all the documents from myUSGS to the Trac Wiki, and I added a link to the HYDRA documentation wiki from there, which will not be moved.  As you can see, the Earthquake Hazards Program Web Team has been using Trac for quite a while now.

We'll be making modifications to the systems so that they can be used for multiple projects (probably a GHSC banner instead of an EHP banner) and still be user-friendly, and we will have a workshop to introduce how to use Trac as soon as it's all ready.  In the meantime, please use the Trac wiki if you are creating new wiki pages (except Hydra).  We'll roll this out in our Project first and then to the rest of the office.

I've set up accounts for everyone in our Project, but I can't send the temporary password via email.  So please call me to get your temp password.
