"Recommending" is a stronger word than I had intended.  "Suggesting"
might be better.  I like their product okay, but wouldn't go so far as
to endorse it.

Trac, RT, gCode, or the current wiki can all be (ab)used to do
coordination; the real question is: how much of your workflow do you
need your tool to enforce?  Most of the time, these are people
problems, which typically don't have technical solutions.
