We use trac. And it works really well, has a built in wiki for other bits and pieces that need remembering.

#22I just started using http://speckleapp.com/
It's relatively new, very lightweight, and made by HN member elliottkember, who is very open to feedback/suggestions.

#23I've been building Speckle (http://speckleapp.com) for a little while: a to-do list with multiple checkboxes per item. it's reasonably light-weight -
I don't know whether it suits what you're looking for, but Id be interested to know what you think :)
Edit: epi0Bauqu beat me to it!

#24Based on posts here I found the "Task-focused API" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task-Focused_Interface . There are lots of extensions available based on it: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_Extensions . For example, from gmail, you can add a task by tagging a message! This Extensions page also seems to be a good reference list of todo aka project management trackers.

#25There's a difference between a bug tacker and an issue tracker.
Bugzilla works great as a bug tracker but is not a great issue tracker. Trac, the opposite.
From what you described, seems you're looking more for an issue tracker or a project planning sort of thing.
I've liked Redmine, though I haven't used it professionally yet.

Trac works pretty well also for our team.

#27You might check out Garret Dimon's http://sifterapp.com. I think it's what 37signals would make if they made bug-tracking software.

#28For bugs http://curecode.org/ is ery lightweight and fast. You can see it in use here http://curecode.org/rebol3/view-tickets.rsp .
For sharable todo's I can "recommend" (my) http://www.qwikitodo.com , you can even make "actionable" Plan/Todo meshes with it that have titles, subtitles, free form mixing of text todo items, regular lists, etc...

#29I haven't used it, but this is "interesting" - http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/tip/www/index.wiki
(I use Trac myself, and it's OK, but not wonderful - haven't found anything better, but will be trying Redmine after reading comments here).
[edit: also, you can do bug tracking with Google code, which I am surprised no-one else has mentioned]

I work alone but I still use Trac and couldn't be effective without it. The Wiki is excellent and I love the Subversion support and how you can cross-link everything.
