Is web2py is the first approach to The collaborative development
directly via online interface ?

What i want to see is , to combine Trac with Web2py Admin . Which we
can have full  fledge Online Collab development environment(SVN
support , Project management , Collaborative Development, Testing ,
Milestones , Deployment)  . If that approach have not tried in any
other development environment , This will be greatest thing happen to
Collaborative Development of software.
