Open Source project Management
Is there a software for open source project management like FogzBugs?. One of my friends is interested in it.
I did send Fogbug link to my friend. He will evaluate it on basis of merit -> Meaning money is not the problem.
But i am asking for one just in case Joel's tool does not meet his needs. What are the other software project management (Web based that are available)?
Open Source is preferable (because i am a open source cowboy). Other than that any other $$ product is also preferable.
Thanks

Just in case someone thought otherwise--> my first loyalty is to ensure Joel is well fed. Second is to open source.
I dont want this forum to disappear.

We just did the bugzilla versus mantis evaluation. Bugzilla seems a pain to install. Ended up installing mantis. It seems fast, easy to use and perfectly adequate.
I have never used FogBugz, so not sure how it would compare.

My (totally biased) choices:
* Dotproject for project management
* Mantis for bug/issue/requirements tracking
* phpBB for discussions
* eGroupware for scheduling and collaboration
First of all, user sychronization across all four systems. It's a must have. It is high priority for me.
- Next, when a user creates a project in Dotproject, my mod creates a new forum in phpBB and a new project in Mantis.
- Next (this is not complete), when a project plan is created in dotproject, it will fill in all milestones on the various users' ToDo lists and Calendars.
- Next, by some simple querying, you can breakdown someone's logged time from Dotproject and match it to open/closed bugs from Mantis.
For details, drop me a note.
DISCLAIMER: I am a contributor to 3/4 of these projects, have used 2 of them for 12+ months, and I am currently working on a mod to tie them together.... I have worked extensively in the database schema and the inter-system interactions.

There is one that I've not used since I don't work on a project outside of work, but I thought if I did, I would give it a shot. It's calle TUTOS and is found on Sourceforge. It has most of these things integrated into one project with a web interface.

I started off with using TUTOS, but I found dotproject and eGroupWare be significantly better, so I got involved with them.
I tested Scarab for quite a while too as I'm fundamentally a Java guy. It requires an App Server, which can be difficult on hosting providers. And also, it takes a massive amount of configuration out of the box. *When I used it*, there were no included reports and you had to define every field. I got in a discussion about creating some default reporting, but most of the people on the User & Devs list didn't want to get involved, so it died.
I believe it could have some serious power though.
