Bob, Praneet,
I did not have a deep look into Trac yet but it looks good. I started with the sourceforge utilities because they were already there and ready to use. But I'm having my own problems with the bugtracker. Since I'm new to CVS any help would be appreciated to move the files to Subversion but I would agree with it.
It's probably a bit early to set up a Wiki for documentation but if we have some people ready taking care of that it would be cool to have one.
You know, I'm very surprised how this project grew in the last couple of weeks and I'm happy to have other people beside to manage things. It was started out of my personal needs and without a clear target. But now, I can see how important those tools for collaboration and communication are!
To use Trac would also mean to move the website hosting (we'd like a clean integration into the website). Bob, if you are willing to host the whole thing and if you have the right environment (Phyton, PostgreSQL) available, I would suggest to try it out. I see that there are scripts available to import existing tracking data from Bugzilla or Sourceforge. If we also can import the mailing list archive it would be perfect...
Just tell me, what I need to do!
Thomas

Rather than installing just a wiki, would you consider a trac installation instance? It makes source management SO much easier (of course, it's SVN), but you have an awesome ticket manager, a wiki built in, and a really nice reporting feature where it tells you what all the latest commits were. I think this would be a really good allin one solution, if someone can install one.
Trac (which is described at http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ by the way) looks really interesting, but as I understand it, it's not really useful unless the source in managed by an accompanying Subversion repository. That would be a fairly major change for, and a decision that must me made by, the current developers.
If this is something the they would like, I'd be more then happy to host the Subversion and Trac installation, and could probably find the time to set it all up next weekend.
Thomas; is this something you may consider? What about the other developers?
