i like the mediawiki suggestion, since it seems to me much more powerful than pmwiki. Another option could be tiki-wiki? it's very extensible... > - gmane/similar service for forum replacement i'd really like forum or similar replacement, because i think it's easier to follow discussions there respect in mailing lists. But i don't think it's fundamental. for bug tracking i'm using mantis that i like a lot. I don't know if it's good for eternal people, but the project is very good and powerful.
