Development Environment

• What languages and O.S. do you plan to use?
• What COTS products will you leverage?
• Which compilers, debugging and integration tools?
• What about testing tools and bug tracking?
• What will you use for source code control?
• How will you collaborate within the team?
• Will you use some sort of integrated software
  development environment?

Lets consider CATs Traq Subversion, Wiki, Bug
Tracking Also, Eclipse and also support for group
collaboration, messaging
