OSCar - the open source car

An open source car? This one's a little different. It's hardware, but applying the principles of open source software. I've seen this before (there are a few robotics projects), but never with an object so pervasive, and so complex. Unless anyone knows of an open source rocket to Mars... The OScar (man I hope they don't get sued over that name) is ambitious, yes, but slowly moving forward. It took me about an hour just to wrap my mind around the forums, and all the little fiddly bits that need to go into just starting a project this size. OScar has been around for a while, but they need your help. Check out the forums and see if you or someone you know can help. For instance, it looks like they're still in the market for decent project management software (I can only assume they prefer an OSS solution). Any suggestions?
