     7This plugin allows the system-administrator to display a message of the day (MOTD) on ''every'' Trac page. Once the user acknowledges the message, it is no longer shown. It is similar to the NewsFlashMacro, with the difference that every page is affected instead of only the ones where the macro is embedded.

    99For a sysadmin it was always hard to inform every Trac user about upcoming system updates, maintenance periods, hardware changes or similar. With this plugin it is now possible to display such message(s) on every Trac page, even when having many projects, by simply editing one text file.
