Richard,

this WeCode.org project of mine is stack based, it's like RevNET (yes, 
I even borrowed the stack rect), it can be installed as a plugin, but 
it also sports a web interface (thats easy when you own the RevHTTPd 
where it's running) so that one can check news from remote sites. The 
Idea is that working users use the stack interface to manage their 
project, but we left a web interface for possible lurkers and for 
making announcements for each project.

The idea is pretty dumb, WeCode is made of modules for each project:
* Wiki module, each project got a wiki where team members can post 
stuff, they own a private wiki for their own discussion and a public 
one for announcements. (it's a revHTTPd based module)
* File repository  for droping stacks and files, I am trying to make a 
server interface compatible with Magic Carpet here, so that one could 
use MGC to manage the files. (it's a RevFTPd based module)
* Chat with users, (Based on RevChat by BvG)

Database is old'mySQL running at WeCode.org. Pretty dumb, we own all 
the tech needed to invent this thing without creating new protocols. I 
want to leave the wiki and the files available at the web interface so 
that possible lurkers or people without the plugin or people using 
dreamcard can see the projects too...

The comunication between client stack and the wecode server is thru 
simple XML-RPC call, again, RevHTTPd based and 2.5 XML-RPC based.

is now just a matter of glueing everything.
