Wink has to be the slowest, most boring way to show off your software. This looks really neat, but I couldn't bear to sit through that demo. You're targeting software delivery professionals, so you can afford a faster, less interactive demo...think "screencast" that could even be played on an iPod.
Otherwise, really interesting. I hope to see it support relative developer estimates rather than hours or any other real unit of time.

TP supports abstract relative effort units (points). It is a matter of process configuration in TP.
