by adding some required features so that Haskell projects can move from e.g. SF to haskell.org. Here I'm thinking about Trac - wiki and issue tracking system (http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/).
It is simple & powerful enough. It combines wiki (the present hawiki entries can be imported (http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ticket/2068) with the ticket system handy for handling bug requests, feature requests, setting roadmaps, timelines etc. and great thing that there is a darcs backend available so every proejct can have darcs repository avaialable. (this is why I prefer trac over e.g. bugzilla, RT...)
This would indeed be something very valuable to have IMHO. The easier it is for potential library and tool writers to involve the rest of the community in their efforts (independent whether they have public web servers etc available to use), the more good libraries and tools, we'll get.
Trac also looks quite nice (after quickly browsing through the site).

Would it be intended that every Haskell-related project is hosted under haskell.org? This might be not so nice.
People can host their Haskell projects wherever they like. The point of a public infrastructure at haskell.org would be to make it easy for everybody to obtain hosting.
And it might be not so nice if most Haskell-related projects are hosted under haskell.org so that potential users might only look under haskell.org for projects and miss those that are hosted elsewhere.
An index can still include projects hosted elsewhere. (In fact, it should.) Manuel
