Yup. I like this one. Easy to self host. Wiki is a great bonus. I need to figure out how to get emails to sync with cron or however that works.
Poll: What's your favorite bug tracker?

#72Other. Write code without bugs. (I say this in jest, but only a little.) Think about it... I know so many programmers who get lazy because they have such good debugging tools (Let me just slam something out there and let the debugger catch it.) I hate this. If we developers would slow down and think a little more about what we're building, we may find a dramatically decreased need for debugging. Variable local or glo…
This is fine advice. Had the OP thought it through, they would have made this thread about "ticket tracker" or "issue tracker" and then your comments about debugging would be more obviously non sequitur.

However, from an engineering perspective, it makes simple tasks clunky; it turns what should be 1-2 step processes into 5-step processes, an…
I didn't have a very high opinion of Jira until about version 4. In recent updates, a lot of the clunkiness of older versions seems to have been cleaned up.

Management have decided that every team must now use an issue tracker and that tracker must be HP Quality Center. They're even paying a temp to manually migrate all our Jira issues into QC. We managed to win the battle for Git over IBM Rational ClearCase for a version control system but this kind of thing makes me think it's about time to find a new job.
