As the project is growing there are a number of issues that I think need to be tackled.
As per Benjamin's last email here are some of my suggestions
1) Mission statement
This is important to give potential users an idea of what the project is and its goals. Im not sure how we will do this, but maybe allow those that want to contribute to write a mission statement and then combine the various aspects into a final version that suites the project's goals
2) Gerrit code review
This will be very good to ensure any patches and code contributions get reviewed by those familiar with the code plus it makes it easier for those to contribute to the project.
3) bug tracker
There are quite a few bug trackers we can use and they need to be looked at closely.
launchpad is handy as it has both version control in the form of bazaar plus PPA archives. Also this is hosted by canonical and won't need to be setup.
There is also bugzilla as well as red mine.
I would recommend red mine as it has really good integration with version control plus much more.
4) website
I think at some point we will need to get our own website going and eventually break ourselves away from google groups.
5) wiki
Good for documentation as it is common practice for a lot of sites to use it for such a thing.
6) hosting
Has anyone thought about where all this would be hosted?
7) funding
I know a way that we can raise funds for the project if they are needed
Merry Xmas and looking forward to hearing back on the above points
