How about forums for discussion and a wiki for documentation. I often find it easier to find information in web-forums because discussions can be classified under different topics, and they often have better search functions than mailing lists do.Moreover, some forumsoftware has nice formatting options such as [code] [/code] statements which will automatically do syntax-coloring on blocks of code. Another thing to look into, would be something like redmine(http://www.redmine.org/), which can do: * svn/cvs/mercurial/etc.. repository management ( online repository browsing, it automatically creates RSS feeds from the repo changelogs, and it can show syntax-colored diff's between different revisions/versions of files. very detailed and very useful) * bug and feature/task/support ticket tracking (and the abibility to link bug creations/resolvings to repository revision numbers) * manage project 'news', documents, and files * track time spent on tasks/projects * team/project calendar * automatically generated gantt chart. (visual way of tracking project schedule, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gantt_chart ) * project roadmap ( a demo project in redmine can be seen here: http://demo.redmine.org/projects/show/sandbox ) There are many options out there that could increase productivity, I only stated some of my personal favorites, but it is definitively something worth brainstorming over. _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list Xastir-dev@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
