I can coach or be involved in social but I'm very unsure of committing just

for tracking or project here so that there is at least one centralized
place we can get the overview. Taiga seems like the most complete and
active solution but has a bit of coupling involved plus I'm not certain
what I'll do for hosting just yet for it. I'll see if digital ocean or
someone like this will donate a VM or something.
