I am working on a top secret project with a very small group of people. We have been using “ActiveCollab”:http://www.activecollab.com/ up until now and it has worked out fairly well. Recently though it has started to show its limitations; it does not do software development very well. By this I mean that it cannot manage user stories, track bugs, show source code, etc.

It does an amazing job of managing the regular communication that happens between members of a group and means that we do not have a million emails flying around all the time; however, it can’t manage the particulars of a software development project.

For this, we are moving to “Trac”:http://trac.edgewall.org/. I have not used it, but my impression is that it is quickly becoming the defacto standard for managing software projects. I will be installing it over the next few days.
