I think web-browsing is a convenient way to read(learn) source code. Sometimes I read a commit in the mailing list, and would like to read those changed source files in whole, but I found only v[1,2] source code could be web browsed. As developing now happens more in v3 than other versions, so I personally think web-browsing for v3 source code is in demand. Is there any reason that web-browsing for v3 source code is not provided?
BTW, I think the coreboot v3 documents (both the wiki page http://www.coreboot.org/Coreboot_v3 and the pdf http://www.coreboot.org/images/0/0a/Newboot.pdf) are very informative, and are also elementaries for a new developer. Therefore, is it a good idea to reference them in the developer manual (accessed from the frontpage)?

Grr - because the Trac viewer can't understand multiple roots, apparently. Stefan, Patrick - can you look into this? We need buildrom and filo too.
Have I mentioned how much I dislike Trac? :)

I also think it can be useful!

I don't think there is. Probably there has just not been a trac set up for v3 yet. Meanwhile you can use ViewVC:
http://coreboot.org/viewvc/?root=coreboot-v3

Hm, that's a good point, but I suppose the Developer manual page is so far only really meant to apply for version 2 so far. If you want an account to help improve the wiki please send Stefan an email, to: stepan@coresystems.de

I believe it's a fundamental design decision in trac. But they are working on some good solutions for it.

Why? (Besides it being a web app?)
