If I had to pick I’d say Abe is the winner overall - the collaborative editing looks incredibly neat, like SubEthaEdit in a wiki. Cheers, Mike PS Thanks for the kudos to Atlassian at the start, but you seem to have forgotten the link? Great work guys - I love some of these ideas!

But why limit it to programmers? I think every company should have a monthly hackathon for all employees! It’s like the 3M or Google principle of working on a private project, but compressed into one super-productive day. Wow, what a fantastic concept. But why limit it to programmers?

In fact, Jim (customer support) and I (CEO) did a lot of stuff to the office that just wasn’t getting done but that was needed to make things work better (e.g. whiteboards on all walls, new desks, re-arrange tables, etc).
