We're looking into a bug tracker application which is about to go live, it's called
lighthouse
my main goal over the next 2 months is to improve the documentation, and take a little strain off the forum. Our wiki is good, but we fight spam and various other things, so I also thought about moving to a hosted solution called
stikipad, which you can mask right back into your personal site, it's just using their services and system...basically a spam-free and secure solution.
vbulletin costs money each year too, around $30, we might add on a template to get a redesign started, and lastly I was thinking a license of mint would be really good, we don't really pay attention much to our stats here.
Documentation can make or break an OS application, if it wasn't for the great support of this forum then pixelpost would be a great deal less popular.
Rodney - I'll be sure to talk to you more about that soon
austriaka - the investment of your time is the best of all!
