My turn to poke my $.02 in. I have a slightly different view of
evangelism than most. I belive that we can best be effective in
introducing Linux to people if we can set up some install-fests and get
the word out to semi and non geeks. Collections of propaganda exist in
other places. We could just have a page of links to other
Linux/LUG/Open Source groups and have a section there for this sort of
thing.
As for project managament features. I see that as someting which should
be allowed for in the design, but not neccesarily implimented in the
first pass. It is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure what it buys us
over using something like sourceforge for any project a eugluger might
be working on.
