Now's the time I pipe in to remind everyone that Atlassian has offered free (as in beer) versions of Jira and Confluence for the Python project (actually any open source project). If you haven't used these, they're definitely worth a look. Jira is the issue tracker, Confluence the wiki. They're extremely professional, usable, well-integrated, and you can integrate them with Subversion. We've used them at work for maybe a year now and I've been very happy with them. Jira is definitely one of the better issue trackers, free or not free, that I've used.

I've also used Confluence at work, and been very impressed. A very nice feature which I haven't seen anywhere else is that the Wiki pages allow comments as well as direct editing - it allows discussion about the page to occur in a normal answer/response fashion, possibly leading to eventual update of the page text itself.

They're not Python and they're not open source, so perhaps it's legitimate to dismiss them because of that. But they are also definitely cool. At the Atlassian folks are very cool too, and fans of FOSS.

I'd hope we wouldn't dismiss them out of hand - one of the things that appeals to me about Python is the philosophy that open-source and protected-source groups can both benefit from working together.

Regards, Nick.
