Yes, I'll have subversion set up as a source control system. It's already set up. But the web interface for it isn't set up yet.

For collaboration, there is a phpBB forum. As I've been setting it up, and integrating it with my own code, I've been very impressed by all of the capabilities of phpBB. I think it will be a very handy for project communications.

I'll also have a bug-tracking system. At the moment, I'm fairly sure that it will be phpBugTracker (link: http://phpbt.sourceforge.net ). I have it set-up, and it seems to be working, but I haven't done much yet toward integrating it with the rest of the site.

>I don't think that Benji has better things to do, it may only be a lot more work than he has thought. Let's be patient and hope that he'll successfully master all problems.

Actually, you're both a little bit right.

I got in a car accident a few weeks ago. I've been to a half-dozen or so chiropractic appointments, and I've had to spend a ton of time shopping for a new car. So, it's been a very hectic month for me.

But this is also a very big project. Especially since I decided to ditch the GForge code and build my own repository site by stitching together various tools (forum, file management, bugtracking, document management) from various different authors.

My first priority is to get user registration, project registration, and file-uploads implemented. When that's done, I'll bring the site up live. Then I'll make sure the subversion system is working, and I'll open the doors to that. Then I'll start tinkering around with some other neat features.

I haven't stopped working on the repository. Thanks for your patience. It will be here soon [note: depends on your definition of "soon"].
