Buel, right now there is no existing integration between dotLRN and any of the workflow tools. However, my impression is that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do; I think you need one or more portlets so that the application (ticket-tracker, bugtracker, or whatever) can be viewed in dotLRN and an applet that lets you associate the application with a class or community. (I could be wrong about this, since I'm not a programmer.)
My company is interested in eventually incorporating bugtracker into dotLRN but I don't really know when we'll be ready to make that leap yet.
