I like using fancy solutions as much as the next guy but last year I used a white board in the room (it was used exclusively by us) Simple, easy to set up and everyone could see where things were. It also has great time and resource management capabilities. Of course, we had one student programmer and 2 mentors helping him and everyone had different schedules. Having an extremely visible (purple marker on a white board) system was the most effective for us because it allowed us to communicate despite some of us being there from 11-1am while others were there more normal hours.
