Communication

The purpose of this article is twofold: a) outline the basic principles that apply to developer <> developer & developer <> community interaction as well as to list the channels of communication that are utilized by the development team.

IRC

 * Real time developer communication.
 * Easiest way to stay in regular contact for the currently active developers.
 * Community interaction.

Forums

 * Discussing concepts that have been already fleshed out at the wiki and are ready for feedback by other developers.
 * Discussing concept that might be worth fleshing out but you would like to get some feedback from the other developers first before investing a larger amount of time.
 * Community interaction.

Trac

 * Tickets ready for implementation.
 * Bug reports by developers as well as others.

Wiki

 * Place to store all kind of important information (important to developers as well as the community) about the project.
 * Discussion of concepts should rather take place at the forums.
