currently we are using gnome cvs as that is one of the requirerments for 
stuff being proposed for inclusion in Gnome. I will be getting a 
bugzilla for it too on gnome. Gnome also has a wiki - live.gnome.org at 
our disposal.

it all needs tarting up and being more integrated so if anyone can help 
there then let me know.

Also wrt IRC, are there enough volunteers to staff it so that it does 
not become an empty channel?

I can be on it maybe 5-6 hours a day but we need more coverage for it to 
be useful.
