We use Trac for time and ticket management.

See wiki:WikiFormatting and wiki:TracWiki for help on editing wiki content, please note that:

  • This wiki uses CamelCase for pages, don't create all lower case page names or pages with underscores or dashes in them as this breaks automatic links.

Servers and Websites

The Transition Network rents Debian virtual servers from the Webarchitects Co-operative, which are powered by Good Energy, these servers run multiple free libre open source software applications.
