I don't want to vary from Mingle or Trello until it's proven for current
projects, but you and Mark Holmquist have some incentive to try out
alternative tools. We could probably start a labs instance and come up
with a project that is defunct or not under active development yet that
we can try out using a tool of your choosing. :-)
You guys have my okay to do that for something. :-)
Dan Andreescu and I (mostly him) actually setup (a while back) a Redmine
instance for this purpose (with the goal of prototyping a nice FOSS
solution). It seems to be currently down, but it's at
http://redmine.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/redmine/login .
