Yes, this needs to be setup majorly bad! This is super high priority.
Hopefully several of us can be made admins to help with admin'ing it and
also to setup new products, categories, etc...also we need to make sure

Oh, I can do this...no contests please... ;) I will set it up pretty

often (check my latest, http://overlap.org) I will just port over your
design and then we can change over time...

Cool...or just setup mediawiki in our space...but I think good to just
use the live.gnome.org/Tracker... good idea!
