Everybody of the dev team: Please watch this video and tell me what you think.
Project Task Management: Trello (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaDf1RqeLfo)

It's a basic project management tool which *could* lead to a clearer insight for all the dev's involved. This way new volunteers can jump right in the fray without having to wait a long time or spend a long time learning the current objectives, tasks, developers via the existing management systems. (If any)
It also allows all the users to comment directly on the tasks, creating an environment where suggestions are encouraged, regardless of timezones. These suggestions are also saved, but more importantly: They can be found back, on the relevant subject, without searching of any kind.
(Yes, the basic version is free)
Example of Planeshift use:

May be completely unrelated, but can I use this to manage a restaurant's shifts, workflow, and to organize workloads?

Haha, probably :p Personally I don't know the exact management needs of a restaurant, but if you want to enable staff to fill in their own days/hours, sure!
Be sure to check out the "Power-up" which allows you to see the board in calender view, make sure the staff uses recognizable avatars and go wild with the color-schemes. They even have an app for the phone ;)

You may misunderstand the structure of the development team...
PlaneShift is not a democracy.

What are you talking about?
Doesn't matter if Planeshift was a Plutonian timocracy, Trello is a project management tool. It's useful in any kind of structure.
Plus, it's scalable. I'm just going to use it for personal use because it rocks. and whenever anybody wants to join the board I've created: I invite them. Easy as pie.

But it won't be used if the project leader doesn't decide to do so. Which I doubt, from my experience which other suggestions he already rejected, regarding an improvement of the development. Including warnings about objective mistakes coming from experts in their category.

If I recall correctly, PlaneShift already has its own "intranet" and managing tool for the developers and prospects. It isn't being used, though, but I do recall hearing it had been used. drJack liked it when he was the Settings lead.
But, Author, thank you a lot for showing me this. I'll certainly use it for next year's project: I need to plan a business related to hostelry, and this will surely be helpful.
