I am working in a small team on some projects in my spare time. We are having the problem that we seem to go in circles and are not able to get our products developed – however this is not a problem during my day job. The lack of face-to-face communication seems to have a real impact on productivity.
Any examples of software or methodologies in use by the open source development community would be appreciated.
This is a difficult question to answer because ‘open source projects’ is a very broad selection of projects. I think the defining characteristic is the project has a single unifying goal (perhaps, a set of related goals).
Are you on any open source mailing lists? I am subscribed to my favorite distro‘s mailing list and the developers e-mail each other many times a day. Also, there are other avenues of communication such as IRC / Instant Messenger.
I am not a RoR developer, but I would suggest skimming through Getting Real for some inspiration.
