There was mostly an "I don't care much, but if it makes you happy..." 
position.

We want a prettified bug tracker, don't we?
Also, how do we want to manage *tasks*? Bugzilla? Are you serious?
I want to have nice status graphs and a history function that lists ticket
changes. And my biggest wish is to have a nice-looking and *easy to 
use* ticket
tracker.

Since RailFrog is not ready and we don't have a really good alternative 
we can't
do anything about it.

I'd like to decide this after the second coding sprint.

What is the alternative? Plone? It needs a totally new skin (less 
overloaded).
Many people hate wikis, so Semantic MediaWiki will probably not be accepted.
And that's all we have on the alternatives list.

BTW, is Bryan's secret project related to our website? Or completely
Haiku-unrelated?
