[wxPython-users] Project Management (was OT: Programming Productivity)

[Jorgen Bodde]

What I always do to get lost is using a WIKI. I have used lots of todo
managers and project managers, but a simple Desktop wiki (MoinMoin)
gets me a long way. Everything I need to do I write down there, how
trivial it may seem at least I do not forget the issues that I need to
address.

And the best thing is, it is written in python and you can extend it
yourself if needed.
