I like the note with the illusion. But remember that there are a lot of tools available out there and choosing one platform/setup over another is no that easy to do -- not only because we want to keep the info collected in the bug tracker and in various places. I one is very motivated to look at different setups, I would motivate them to start doing a similar writing as [Marco] is currently doing with choosing the documentaiton format. That is collecting setups that could be of interrest, and maybe make some test setups. This could help keep the focus on this list on doing the kicad release and not the backend. Also, just to mention it, there is also something called [Phabricator] and its applications. As far as I can see it is open source under Apache v2. Blender has migrated to that, and it seems quite successfull. I have not done a thorough survey of phabricator though.
