if category is not set, use default category defined in trac.ini

[falkb]

Usually, users forget to set a category when they post a new blog entry. This is bad since then it's not available or caught via the category survey.

This plugin could handle that by automatically setting a default category if none is set on posting. And I want to specify the default category in trac.ini.

Good idea. Could also be extended to include editing of this setting in Admin too.

This should work:
