Not any more, either for mathematicians or philosophers ... :-)

You can't make decisions without evaluating things, and evaluating
things does not even mean that the work will lead to a change from the
current state of affairs.  It may make you realize that minor changes
will already address some problems, for example.

Quite, but one of the problems we have right now is that it's not clear what the broad requirements are. For example -- we know that GitHub is out because of its proprietary nature. That means that no one is going to waste time setting up a trial system using GitHub. There are surely other things that can be clarified now so as to not evaluate systems that are going to be rejected out of hand.

For example -- is it essential that any solution proposed work well with Google Code issues? Or will consideration be given to a solution that involves an alternative issue tracker?
