Hey Aslak,
Doesn't this sound a bit like your Kipling project, which we spoke
about at QCon London, back in March? ;)
(http://gitorious.org/projects/kipling)
I think it would be a great app to have, which would work well inside
a web browser, rather than a fat client that customers and managers
have to download...?
+1, I think keeping it in the browser will work well for most
situations. One option is to make it a flex app and could then be used
as a stand-alone Air app. WDYT?
I have been thinking about the requirements for such a project and I
think having it git-powered would be great. Having the stakeholder to
be able to edit features and have the changes show up in a remote branch
automatically would be a great feature IMO. If it is powered off of git
we also get versioning and a lot of other stuff for free. (I would
recommend watching Scott Chacoon's presentation on using git in this way
from ruby conf:
http://rubyconf2008.confreaks.com/using-git-in-ruby-applications.html)
Anyways, thats my two cents. I would argue that most business people
these days are just as, if not more, comfortable in a browser than they
are in Excel as long as the UI is good. Of course, having clients for
both would be ideal. :)

From my recollection, you were wanting to keep Kipling quite sparse
and text based, in contrast to the Thoughtworks product which Aidy
mentioned in this thread.
I would be interested in getting involved with this, if I could be
helpful in any way :)

So I'm asking you - what would this user interface be
like? How do people want to access it
and use it?
I was considering writing (but will probably never have time
for) a simple writeboard/wiki-style site that is linked to a
git repository.
So you point the app at a clone of your git repository's
features folder, people can browse the folder, edit a feature
in the browser (and view the history) and then push them
straight back into the repo.
(I noticed someone else had posted a writeboard-based system
earlier too)
Yes, it's called Remote Feature:
