Haml & Sass are *always* the way to go :)

Recommendations for story management:

We use Pivotal, but scrumd looked pretty cool when we tried it a while back.

I would prefer an open source solution though, as I'd like the possibility of retaining the data (and the ability to browse it) indefinitely without having to keep paying an SaaS provider forever (and depend on their continuous operation). However if I need to, I'll still consider SaaS.
