I'm in a development team which consists of many people from different departments of our company. For now, we're using a forum for ""informal"" discussion of feature-proposals (where everyone can contribute), an issuetracking system as a ""formal"" way to categorize and track our development progress (which is managed by a few ""head developers) and a wiki for documentation purposes (which again is open for all users). So the ""life cycle"" of a feature looks like this: proposal > discussion between all developers > creating of an ""ticket"" with formal specs (deliverables etc.) in bugtracker which may be commented on by everyone but responsibility for the ticket is held by a ""head developer"" > actual coding > documentation in wiki. Trac really looks great for combining the ""formal"" project-management with documentation and source-code-management but the wiki-based ""view"" is (IMHO) to complicated for the initial, informal discussion. The ticket-view is better suited for that, but doing informal discussions there would weaken (again IMHO) the formal ""progress-tracking"" approach as there will be many tickets which won't make it to a ""real"" issue. So to keep all the relevant development information in one place/system it would be great, if one could have some ""forum""-like functionality with a threaded view.
