As regards your other questions:
• Does Trac support SAML-based SSO logins (e.g. Shibboleth or CAS)?
You would need to install a plugin for that:
https://trac-hacks.org/tags/sso?wiki=on • Are there any limits on the number of users?
Strictly speaking not. The amount of users is limited by your firmware
and/or database. SQLite works fine in most instances, but to reduce the
possibility of lock contention with quite sizeable teams you would need
either MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL as your backend, all of which are
supported out of the box.
• Does the software have the following functionality:
• - rich text editor
We get along fine with the features offered through a standard
installation. For more feature rich user interfaces would need to install a
plugin:
https://trac-hacks.org/tags/WYSIWYG?wiki=on • - contacts/CRM feature for communicating with clients
This is not a strong point of Trac. An older plugin was developed to
interface with a well-known sales system:
https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketToSalesforcePlugin, but may not have been
designed with your required feature set in mind.
There are also plugins to deal with emails (eg
https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MailToTracPlugin), but this is mainly targeted
towards team members as opposed to client communication.
• - Checklists within tasks
This is purposefully not a feature, as Trac is designed to impose as few
rules as possible about how teams want to operate. It would have to be
developed. My personal experience is that existing features offered through
a standard install of Trac are likely to supersede your original way of
working.
• - Import from Redmine
There is no plugin to support this, but it can be done through an
intermediate step involving CSV files:
https://trac-hacks.org/tags/import?wiki=on Ticket imports from foreign systems have an inherent risk of not supporting
all fields, but RedMine happens to be a clone of Trac.
