Sorry! my mistake! I thought everyone would be able to access it. This
was an honest mistake. I just wanted a place where we can share files
and other resources.

Here is a flicker site : http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/?saved=1

If there are only 20 developers lets just get them a yahoo group/
google group UNLESS we have something similar? Is that a bad idea?

We really really need more than just a mailing list we need a
workgroup / collaborative environment (the more the better: if there
is one with a white board and sketching plugin it would be cooler).

Stefano, you know what I am talking about, right? I dont want to
offend anyone or be rude I just want to help ; I hope I didnt show any
disrespect. Stefano if there is any problems I beg you to tell me and
please let us open  a mailing list where we can be more collaborative.
I cannot send attachments to this mailing list. Lets find something
where we can exchange attachments and pdfs (I tried sending one but
the apache mailing list bounced it). What we care about is getting
nice user friendly functionality for the app, right? do we really care
what tools are used to collaborate in the contribution to James ? or
for example what OS is used by our developers?

Who is our competitor by the way? Lets keep those guys in our sights
as well : for comparison purposes and so we can capture greater market
share than them. Let us keep track of data that relates market share
even if it means making it an expense billable to the foundation.

I would love to! anything ! I am however used to a windows environment
and a bit more userfriendliness and I have trouble even uploading
images to the en.wikipedia.org/wiki website... I like wikis for
editing and creating text based information but images are a lot more
difficult to share ; so is any real time interaction.

The issues tracking is rather negative in my humble opinion : it
connotes that there is a problem which needs to be tackled. I would
love to use it but if

Will do but in my humble opinion I would like it if I could get to the
part where I can contribute before reading protocol and other
bureaucratic stuff.

basecamp just made their website NOT free. Is there a similar
alternative that anyone knows of ? If not I can code something like
that.

Fine :) I will look to subscribing it.
