[OOTB-hive] platform ideas

Hi,

I feel better about using Redmine (projects & tasks) and Github (code
repo), being Redmine the main integration point for efforts (issues, tasks,
features).

Redmine's forums could be used for discussion and help about specific OOTB
projects or general Order's stuff, keeping clear that it should not confuse
with current Alfresco forums.

Mailing list could be used for most internal communication, otherwise it
could generate many non interesting emails  for many people.

I prefer using IRC for chat, and use the same channel currently used for
#alfresco since anyways it's already a community space.

I can help with a  Redmine setup and provision a server on AWS, Rackspace
or DigitalOcean for it to make a contribution.

So I would vote for:

- Chat: IRC
- Conference: Hangouts
- Tracking: Redmin
- Code repo: Github

Just my humble opinion.

Thanks
