Re: Organizing Whube Team

 

I've never until today heard of Codendi (Codeni is completely different and
not related to project management).  It looks interesting.

We have docs.whube for wiki/documentaiton, we have launchpad for blueprints
and other things, whube itself for bug tracking... I think we need to use
what we have instead of looking for a larger project to use.  Between those,
IRC and this list, I think we can obtain any goals we set for ourselves.  We
just need to apply ourselves to more "doing", and not just talking about
doing.
