With a little bit of code-monkeying alot of those can be integrated. Example
being, Kablink has a built in Wiki... either replace, or make kablink wiki
push to the main wiki. The current support forums are in a form that works,
but team forums etc. can be moved to kablink with ease. From what I was told,
there is a way to actually integrate Mailing Lists into kablink (I don't
remember how). IRC is chat, and has an important function that isn't so
chaotic as the rest of our stuff. But, it could be possible to create IRC
windows built into the respective teams workspace, for example KDE team would
have a team space on kablink which would have an IRC window. Probably not
necessary with the IRC integration.
I made a feature request. I think its very comprehensive. Be sure to go over
the links and such as this is a very deluxe and complicated technology, and
understanding it is important to realize its potential.
