Perian, We use Trac ? http://trac.edgewall.org/ ? for project management. It's a combination issue-tracking system and wiki (you can use the wiki features with or without the issue/task tracking) and also provides an interface to a subversion repository you can use to manage documents and code check in. We find it useful to have this combination of wiki pages and an integrated way to manage and view tasks and status in the wiki. I also store related documents there (which you can browse in the wiki), and our developers use it to check-in code so we can always find clean copies of scripts and programs outside the deployment environment.

We're moving our website into a content management system and I'm hoping I can collect all of the information from the seven workgroups into one location, especially for our collective sanity as we move forward. But I'm kind of stumped as to the format, and with getting buy-in. Many of the staff are not familiar with using wikis, so I need to train them. Plus I'm having a bit of trouble conceptualizing how the organization of the information should work. Does anyone use a wiki for project management and would be willing to share information about organization? and how did you get everyone using it?
