:-D
I've seen one "not my job" on my street today
and drove carefully around.
The bugzilla is what came in my mind, but I used it only once, and now
when you mentioned it, it looks viable to communicate achievements,
problems, time shortage, needs, exchange files, etc, that comes up
during the task execution.
The other problem who is going to develop project, who is going to
manage it, is still kind of secret.
At the present time I don't see many (sufficient) people that can
dedicate time for large projects, so we need project management that
works fine with loose groups like the wiki editors.
That looks like I have to reread some chapters in:
Producing Open Source Software,
by Karl Fogel
http://producingoss.com/
to come up with some ideas.
