I just made an account on trac-hacks.org, checked out
http://trac-hacks.org/svn/tracbacksplugin/0.11 and tried to commit the diff
below (with the attached commit message), but got 403 forbidden. :(  I
googled for "svn commit access trac-hacks.org" but nothing came up. shmer?

Not at all;  Thanks for giving an awesome talk and introducing how simple
developing trac plugins can be.

I have talked to coderanger a few times on irc and found him to be quite
knowledgable and also (looking at his code) a good programmer.  So yeah,
if you have a question thats not documented anywhere especially on one of
his plugins, he's a good person to ask.  Didn't know he was involved in
OLPC.
