+
+== Description ==
+
+Trac in 0.11 provided us with this incredibly powerful and terrible bit of dark power -- the ability to apply Genshi Transformers to the templates before they hit the user. The power is awesome; and with this plugin I have abused that power for evil purposes.
+
+And there are plans for more evil in the future!
+
+Basically, the plugin adds the ability to tweak any of the Ticket fields-- be they custom or standard-- in the following ways:
+ * disable - The field won't be editable.
+ * hide - The field will simply be invisible.
+ * label - Rename a field... in particular one of the built-in fields.
+ * notice - Add a small notice below a field.
+ * tip - Provide a pretty java-script tooltip when the control overs over the field. (Useful, for example, to give people a reminder for the difference between 'priority' and 'severity'
+ * permission - Set a permission that is required to edit that specific field. This is particularly useful in an environment where you let ''users'' set severity-- so they need TICKET_CHGPROP-- but you only want certain people to be able to edit the Priority.
+
+The plugin also lets you define arbitrary permissions, say, MASTER_OF_PRIORITIES, if you want to require someone to have such a custom permission to edit a certain field.
+
+More evil hacks to come-- one day, I'll make it so the fields available in COMPONENT (For example) will be different depending on what Ticket Type you choose. 
+
+P.S. I am emphasizing the 'evil hackitude' of this because it seems terribly unclean and a bad idea to abuse. But it works for me! :)
