My company uses trac for bug tracking, and while it works fine, I find the web interface a bit clunky, particularly when it comes to sorting and quickly switching between tickets.
Are there any rich client interfaces or maybe Eclipse plugins? I've seen the mylyn connector but that seems to just allow you to basically use the webpage within Eclipse.
There is an XML RPC plugin that you can use to interact with a Trac server using remote scripts. If there is something in particular that you want to do, you may be able to script it up with Ruby, Python, or a number of other languages. There are a number of examples on the plugin's web site: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin
Have you ever looked at FatBug for Trac. It is a rich client for Trac. It has a nice snipping tool for uploading images directly into Trac and full text searching of all of the tickets in Trac. It even supports offline mode for being able to work with tickets when you do not have access to the Internet.

In an online version of draw.io you can enable extra plugins using their url like this https://www.draw.io/?p=svgdata (svgdata is the plugin id)
Is there a way to enable a plugin using Chrome app?
No.
In online version, the Plugins is listed under extras.
In offline as well as in Chrome App, you can't see such an Option
Which means you can't add plugins in the offline version.
Remaining functionalities that you will miss in the offline version
You can’t access or store diagrams using cloud services like Dropbox, GitHub, etc.
Save diagrams to your device or browser instead.
Online help is not available
You can’t insert PlantUML text data.
Math typesetting is not available.
Templates are not available for creating new diagrams.
You can’t export to PDF, but you can print as PDF.
The interface is only available in English.

Then why?
May be because of issues with caching. If you add many plugins, each of them contains many files. Caching large number of files for offline usage will make the app worst and also consume more memory.

Does anyone know how to push tickets from one Trac instance to another?
The problem that I'am trying to solve is the following:
Our company is doing some development for big international firm (let's call it CompanyX) that has everything behind VPN's. We have our Trac, hosted at our firm, which we use for management of all our projects. CompanyX also uses Trac, and since the developers from CompanyX cannot use our Trac for tracking bugs, requests and issues, they use their own. The reason is that their security policy is very restrictive with no Internet access to our server, and nothing can be done about that.
The problem is that we are also forced to use THEIR Trac because they prefer to communicate everything through it internally, and they expect from us to conform to their workflow as well. And for that purpose we have to connect to their VPN via some IE java plugin client from Juniper (which does not remember passwords) and every time have to configure whatnot, just to see a ticket or two on weekly basis which is really tiresome.
Since the communication is mainly one directional, from client to our firm, with no real interaction, I was wondering is there an EASY way to just push (or even sync) the tickets and their updates from client's Trac to our Trac server which would satisfy their outsourced security provider?
(It is not possible for us to touch the Trac's source on their server, so by EASY, I mean some plugin or script or something similar which would be easily accepted by their admin)
There is TicketImportPlugin that can import tickets from csv or excel files. The opposite is to export tickets as csv or tsv files via link on the bottom of a ticket page.
TicketMoverPlugin is able to move tickets from one Trac instance to another.
You should be able to do something using the XMLRPC plugin. You can script up an application that queries your client's Trac for tickets (using ticket.query()), then grabs the ticket details (ticket.get()) and posts them to your Trac in a new ticket (ticket.create()).
This would require both Trac instances to install that plugin and create a trac account that has the XML_RPC permission. You will have to make sure that your client finds this acceptable. Since it's a pre-packaged plugin that you can enable on a per-account basis, it shouldn't disrupt their normal workflow very much.
I'm trying to find a decent standalone webserver that I can load up on a jump drive.
My wife is a photographer, and I'd like to present the clients with their images on usb. When they plug it in, I'd like a web page to load up, and run some jQuery magic to show them a nice carousel of all there images.
So far, this is all fine since it can all be done client side and doesn't need a server at all.
The problem I'm facing is that I'd like some server-side code to be able to read the images out of the directory so that once the interface is built, I don't need to manually create all of the <img /> tags.
If it was primarily going to be used in a Windows environment, I'd have no problem going with IIS Express, since I'm mainly a .NET MVC developer and this would be perfect for me... However, the fact of the matter is that a large amount of our client base is also OS X users.
I did find this Java one jlHttp, and I also found this thread here on SO, but I don't think I understand enough about either one of them to accomplish what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I'm looking for the same thing, and the two best options I've found were Flying Ant cd web server and Stunnix. Of the two, Flying Ant is cheaper, and I've tested it with success on my project.
I found Mongoose very convenient for this exact purpose. It's crossplatform, lightweight and requires minimum configuration. You may be interested in this project that uses Mongoose to display pictures in a folder tree or FTP directory.
How about Node.js
It says it runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
This may be a too broad question but how would you develop a simple web-based IDE/editor? For a lecture I was thinking of a simple editor where you could enter some sort of code, press compile and then display the results, error messages etc. in some way.
Does anyone knows some examples (with source code maybe), or any suggestions on how to do this conceptually?
Or you could try http://codepad.org/

Koding provides a framework for you to develop html5 applications with access to a real Ubuntu VM with Root. The idea for this post, being that you can develop an IDE that works with Client and Server languages, without having to deal with security of giving people access to machines that you are hosting. Security is hard with machines and avoiding exploits
I have the tas to setup, design (devlop a Template), configure (menus, users, plugins etc.), provide the acutal content and administer/maintain a Joomla based website.
What tools, IDEs etc. do you use in your development environment. Of course I would like to do as much of the development work as possible offline without the web frontend. How does this work? I would like to have an comfortable IDE for all the JavaScript, PHP and HTML stuff. I would like to see the results and debug live and immediatetly and then later upload the changes to the server. Is that how you work?
A little bit of WYSIWYG for the design work of course would be great too. If the tools are good they do not have necessarily to be free and may cost money :)
Maybe ther is a tutorial ala "Setting up your development environment for joomla" that also focuses on the tools. Not just installing WAMP.
For creating a template - NVU with NVU Joomla Template Builder plugin, or DreamWeaver with plugin if you can afford, for configuration and content management Joomla itself, phpMyAdmin for database management might be useful.
As for the IDE, I've used Aptana studio, though I haven't done much development.
Those are the tool I've used and found them sufficient.
