K.I.S.S Applies to Process As Well

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid, not the 70's band) is a tenet of agile software development. But it should also apply to all facets of development and not be limited to just writing code. If you've got to go to one server to get requirements, another one to view design documents, a third to build your code, and a fourth to view problem reports, odds are one or more of those systems will be out of date. "One server to rule them all" is a much more maintainable approach and ultimately a more useful approach for everyone involved.

There are a number of great sites organized like this, but SourceForge is probably the largest. One project page contains all the necessary elements for the lifecycle of the project: code, documentation, support forums, bug/feature tracking, and release downloads. A user, a developer, and a manager would all access the same site. This is, as always, by necessity. In a distributed development environment, every developer has to have all the necessary information available to them.
