Steve suggested using basecamp for project tracking. http://www.basecamphq.com/
Joseph suggested the following . . .
I would suggest using Google Groups for the discussion group, maybe
even Google Code for SVN hosting, wiki, and issue tracking. I can
discuss it more on the list, but this is a really neat solution for
developing a rails application: http://heroku.com/. I hacked on it for
a while and produced this: http://mentorship.heroku.com/

I would like to begin putting together a specification for the
mentoring web site.
The basic idea is that the website needs to track the progress of a
mentoring program and the success of the Mentorship relationship.
So to kick things off here is a list of a few desired features.
1. Be able to add mentors and mentees
1.1.Mentors and mentees accounts may only be added by an
administrator.
1.2. Mentors and mentees can flesh out their own profile once their
account is created.
1.2.1. Profile ( need to figure out what this should look like)
2. Create a relationship between the mentor and mentee
2.1. Only an administrator can create the relationship
2.2. Create goals associated with the relationship
2.2.1. Mentors and mentees can create goals
2.3. Track goal progress.
2.3.1. Both mentors and mentees can update goal progress
2.3.2. Only mentors can mark a goal %100 complete
2.3.3. Only mentors can delete goals.
3. Progress reports
A bit of brainstorming on the feature list would be great. Anyone
know of a good way to collaboratively develop a feature list/
specification?

I would use a wiki page for collecting the requirements. You get a
wiki with Google code, so I would go with that. If we go the
Ruby/Rails route, there's a testing framework that puts these
requirements into a formal language and then runs them
(http://rspec.info).

I created a Google code account for the project.
