== About IBIS-PH and the Trac Application ==
This page is part of the IBIS-PH WIKI and is hosted within the "Trac" application.  

"[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] ''yourenvdir'' initenv" created
a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample
data. This newly created environment also contains 
[wiki:TracGuide documentation] to help get things started with the IBIS-PH project.

Please use the [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] to configure
[http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac] to better fit IBIS-PH, especially in
regard to ''components'', ''versions'' and ''milestones''. 

TracGuide is a good place to start.

=== Trac Starting Points ===
 * TracGuide --  Built-in Documentation
 * [http://trac.edgewall.org/ The Trac project] -- Trac Open Source Project
 * [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFaq Trac FAQ] -- Frequently Asked Questions
 * TracSupport --  Trac Support
