My preference is to move to have nothing working out of the box. Each 
and every plugin (trac and svn especially) have dependencies that need 
to be installed to work so I would suggest people install them in the 
normal manner rather than have us trying to second guess what works. 
Perhaps as compromise we could copy the install in formation currently 
in the docstrings into the config file so it is ultra obvious what needs 
to be done.

I think this is something that should be left outside of pure kforge and 
should be part of e.g. a debian package (which can then ensure than 
trac, moinmoin, subversion are installed and make the necessary mods to 
the config file).

Let me give you a call about this.
