Speaking of a tast list specifically and better collaboration broadly, has the possibility of setting up a site like phpGroupware been raised? It has most basic functions for groups to work together and is relatively easy to write custom modules.

There are several good forum/bb modules and if i remember right wiki integrates with it (in fact, its documentation page uses wiki).
