Trac Project Management
I have been working on setting up new project management processes in our company and one of my colleagues passed along a link to Trac. After playing around with it for a couple days, I must say that it is quite an impressive app. It's easy to setup (apt-get in Debian), easy to tweak (via it's command line admin tool and even by tweaking the python based templates and code), and easy to use.
Trac combines a Wiki, bug tracker, and Subversion source repository browser in one Web app. It's a nice mix of keeping project knowledge in one place as well as viewing and managing changes. I really like the simplicity and customizability of the tickets in the bug tracker.
Not only is initial setup a breeze, but ongoing project setup is easy as well. I was able to quickly add a perl script that not only setup the Trac project--with our particular customizations, but also created the source repository, and added the Trac project to the Apache config file.
