Perhaps the documentation can be that in quite a similar fashion. You would need to just throw out most of it. And yes, I can imagine what people will say if you even suggest it.

We've found that linking our systems helps somewhat (version control ↔ bug tracking & project management, buildbot ↔ IRC, etc.).Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go perform some internal SEO to get even more out of our Google Mini. Michel, sounds familiar. We’ve found that linking our systems helps somewhat (version control ↔ bug tracking & project management, buildbot ↔ IRC, etc.).

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go perform some internal SEO to get even more out of our Google Mini.

We're also trying to figure out how to manage all the different applications we use (like you we use a wiki, a bug tracker and a few custom tools) so our information is all over the place. We're looking into Jira for our project management and case management. The problem is finding solutions that we can host ourselves for security reasons (although I'd feel perfectly safe having our data elsewhere, my bosses don't).The tools need to be appropriate, but it's more about how we use them that makes them useful or not.

Like a lot of dev shops we use IRC, but it's hard to get non-developers on there. Something easier to start with and a little prettier would help. Thanks for the tip!
