That's the point of the project. There are, I think, several project managers who hang out here; I am one, I just don't manage development projects much. The idea is to teach developers how project management works, and what it's like to be a part of a "professional" project. Not just a CD and book organizer, although I do kind of like the idea for a number of reasons.
What I like about this is the possibility for really getting some of the people here involved. We have our fair share of Saints and Gurus; vroom, merlyn, quite a few others who do this for a living or are stars in the Perl community. We also have quite a few who only code for fun, and we have still more who really WANT to work as a developer, but they've never been able to really get started. IRL I like to hire entry-level people for jobs and then actually bring them along to better positions; I've even hired high-school kids as low-end technicians and helpdesk support. This is a chance to do the same in the Perl community.

As far as organization goes, we could probably go with something as simple as a restrictive CVS setup. Everyone would have an assigned section, and could only do a write lock for code from that section.
My school has about 5 linux boxes that arent going to be in use at all this summer. It might take a little work, but we could get permission to use one as a dedicated box.
