Comments about Trac as an Alternative to GitLab

Alex Bustos
Despite its name, GitLab is not only version control, is a suite of cloud based solutions around source code.

That being said, Trac is an alternative only speaking about Wiki and Issue Tracking system, both features of GitLab that can be enabled/disabled per each repo/project/group
