Software to help people commit Project Management.
Marketshare leader is Ms Project. We will bury you.
Micro Soft is broadening the reach of Ms Project. In the words of partner Business Engine , "They (Microsoft) want to make Project into a platform, which is the way we have always seen it," he said. (Though BE seems to have a top-down budget/Con Trol attitude...)
My vision is a product called Project Flux. Similar to the killed-by-Blog Ger Py Ra.
Here's one possible Name Space. Another is Pm Xml.

My short-term hack plan: use ZWiki (Collaboration Ware, Wiki For Collaboration Ware)
Tweak ZwikiTracker
- add some fields like assignedTo, expectedCompleteDate
use ZWiki's built-in Hierarchal Structure to mimic a hierarchy of tasks
body text of each task item/page is like a Web Log/App Log entry. (And ZWiki let's you set up any page to support email subscription for updates.)
Structure the wikis for an organization as follows:
root/central wiki for central/cross-project info, plus a single Zwiki Tracker
Sub Wiki(s) for each project requiring significant documentation (User Stories, etc.)
Most discussion happens via EMail (and in person), then is recorded to the appropriate wiki pages, because Summarizing Is Necessary.
Note this makes it difficult/tricky to view a single-project Recent Changes/Web Log view.
