Dylan,

I'll second the benefits of Trac coupled with Subversion!  I was a bit of
a sceptic a year ago, figure it would be just another bug system, and
just another source control system but they have individually improved
the GDAL project, and the integration between them has been the icing on
the cake.  For instance, the ease with which tickets (bugs) can refer to
source control changesets and the "timeline" page showing commits, ticket
updates (and wiki changes).

All that aside, I think there are social and shared support benefits to
a common infrastructure, and I'd love to see GRASS at OSGeo but those are
softer points, and I'm obviously biased. :-)

Best regards,
