almost certainly a little off the topic here, but i'm wondering if there's a forum devoted to designing a total software design/coding/management architecture that would work under linux in general and fedora in particular. by architecture, i mean a nicely-coupled set of utilities including * languages (C, C++, Perl, Python, Java, scripting) * revision control (CVS, Subversion, BK, arch, etc.) * build management (make, scons) * IDEs * issue/request tracking (bugzilla, RT) * debugging (gdb) you get the idea. i know there are individual mailing lists for pretty much all of these things, but is there somewhere a forum aimed at looking at the general architecture picture? discussing alternatives for any and all of these components? compatibility? etc, etc. a pointer to mailing lists/URLs would be a good start. thanks. rday
