I'm a fan of Basecamp by 37 signals (basecamphq.com) - It's good for small and big businesses, file sharing, messages to clients, whiteboards and task lists, etc. Trac is also good because of its integration with subversion and it being open source.

Big fan of Basecamp. Been using it for 3 years across multiple projects.

We use unfuddle, http://www.unfuddle.com . Kind of like Basecamp, but a bit more dev focused. Integrates well with Subversion.

also, unfuddle gives unlimited free git repos (or svn), which is nice. i don't use it for project management, but if i want to create a private remote repository and share it with folks, it's free, unlike many other choices.

hi there! We've been using Producteev.com for the past 2 weeks, and it is simply amazing for Team Task Management... A pure jewel. If you request a code on producteev.com, you get a token within the hour You might want to try them out, I discovered them through this post on TC : http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/09/producteev-launches-gro...

I'm not a fan of Basecamp. It lacks the analytical aspects of project management.

XP-Dev.com - (disclaimer: I develop and manage xp-dev.com). I'm using it at the moment for a couple of side projects (they're not startups, but more webapps) with others.

Bunch of features: http://xp-dev.com/features/

Having said that, if you really want something standalone - Trac http://trac.edgewall.org/ and Redmine http://www.redmine.org/ come to mind. There is always Bugzilla (http://www.bugzilla.org/) if you want to go old school.

Of course, you could always just use a spreadsheet to track it all (please don't laugh at this - I've seen it used oh-so-many-times in the past).

Wow people don't joke on HackerNews, didn't know it was that serious, sorry guys. I don't usually do that, do a GG alert/search on Producteev, you'll see that I'm never posting anonymous comments on my product, but in this special case, I reacted too quickly maybe, I apologize. Also, I don't pretend to be using my software, we really do, and it changed drastically our internal organization, it's way better, sorry to be enthusiastic about my product. I won't do that again anyway (even though I was already convinced that it was not fine). Mea culpa
