An anonymous reader writes "You've seen the Large Hadron Rap by Kate 'Alpinekat' McAlpine. Now a NASA magazine has commissioned an astrobiology rap. Jonathan Chase, aka 'Oort Kuiper', produced a six-minute YouTube rap video on astrobiology, the scientific search for extraterrestrial life. The lyrics include: 'We've been on Earth for many years and we are still producing answers; as time passes, collective knowledge advances.' This epic rap battle sees Alpinekat/CERN on top with over three million views on YouTube compared with about ten thousand for Oort Kuiper/NASA."

The system would cater to only Computer Science and Information Science students (about 100-200 people). Can anyone give some advice on what kind of services should be provided and how they should be implemented? I'm currently thinking along the line of having something like a gForge and svn setup. However, I've also been thinking about doing a system using trac that has a bit of a custom "project" creation website. Any advice would be appreciated."
