As much as I would like to recommend using the Novell infrastructure, I
can't. We currently have access to a dedicated server and free
bandwidth on which we can put any of the above if we so desire. We also
have full control over the box, with some very capable sysadmins helping
us out.

Also, all of that would be a lot of overkill for what we need to do
here.

To do a project, I expect the following to be used:
- email between the developers, project managers, and company
involved. We can create separate mailing lists to make this
easy if necessary, or if confidentiality is needed by the
company.
- patches for the code sent by email to the above.
- We can easily set up git to store kernel modifications in
while they are being developed, if the developer(s) need them.
(subversion sucks on so many levels, let's just not even go
there...)

And that's it. No "feature trackers" or bugzilla is needed, as that's
not how the Linux kernel development groups work, and we need to
intergrate our output into the kernel development process. If we were
to set up some separate process, that would just make it harder to
intergrate, and cause bigger problems (as some kernel subsystems are
now finding out despite them being told to avoid this...)

thanks,
