Description: TracBacklog
        ===========
        
        This plugin is meant to help you with your agile process using Trac.  One of
        the key practices of agile development, is prioritizing the backlog.  That
        can be difficult to do in Trac, as it doesn't have any way of doing
        fine-grained ranking of tickets.  This plugin helps resolve that
        short-coming.
        
        TracBacklog adds a new navigational element to your navigation bar.
        Clicking on it will take you to the unscheduled backlog (all active tickets
        that aren't currently assigned to a milestone).  On the right hand side,
        is a listing of open milestones.  The idea is that you drag-n-drop tickets
        within the list itself to change their rank.  Once you're happy with the
        ranking (i.e., you've worked with your customer to prioritize the outstanding
        tickets), you drag-n-drop tickets onto a milestone to assign it into the
        milestone.  This effectively treats milestones as sprints, which works well
        for us... and I hope it works well for you!
        
        The unscheduled backlog is created from tickets that are not assigned
        to any milestone.  You can also view each milestone and see and individual
        backlog for it, but all tickets are ranked absolutely (they maintain their
        absolute ranking when you drag them in and out of a milestone).  Furthermore,
        if you are trying this on an existing project, the initial rank for each
        ticket will be it's ticket id.  You'll want to spend some time sorting your
        tickets, and you may want to consider pulling them all into the unscheduled
        backlog when you do that (so that you can order the all the tickets against
        each other).
        
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        It requires simplejson 2.0 or better, and Trac 0.11 or better.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Using ``easy_install``::
        
        $ easy_install -U TracBacklog
        
        From a tarball::
        
        python setup.py install
        
        Enable the plugin in trac.ini::
        
        [components]
        backlog.* = enabled
        
        
        Configuration
        -------------
        
        Users can customize the fields they see in the Backlog preference pane.
        
        Also, you will need to run ``trac-admin upgrade`` on your database, since the
        plugin needs to create a table and some default values for your tickets.
