Hi -

Thanks Peter for driving this topic. I don’t think we all agree, but we can (a) 
try to advance our project organization and (b) acknowledge how we are using 
the many tools we already use.

(1) Bug/Issue Trackers available from the ASF.
(a) Bugzilla - OpenOffice has a dedicated instance as does SpamAssassin while 
many projects share a third.
(b) JIRA - Atlassian has provided a free license to the ASF. Not all plugins 
may be available. If one is missing then it will need negotiation.

(2) Wikis available from the ASF.
(a) MediaWiki. This wiki is supported by the AOO PMC and came over as a legacy 
from OpenOffice.org.
(b) Confluence. (Again Atlassian provided free license) This is hosted by the 
ASF and the project has two available for organizing various tasks. We used 
these pretty extensively during migration to organize work.
(c) MoinMoin. Also hosted by the ASF - a more old school wiki. Used by the 
Incubator and others.

My suggestion is to use tools we already have. A wiki seems correct to me. I 
would suggest Confluence, but that is my personal preference. We already have 
tools deployed. I think we just need to manage a table from time to time. 
Periodically we can “Scrum” on dev@ over the status.

Nothing to forgive since you are proceeding with a rational discussion. So we 
are clear you are looking to have a high/medium level overview of tasks and 
status towards goals. I think this can be a table in a wiki.

Bitte! (Did I use that correctly?)
