Couple of notes from my perspective, not really webapp specific but still relevant, at least I think so.

- Settle in on a VCS subversion and git are two front runners to get you started on. Of course others exist but those are two big ones. Each has its own benefits and disadvantages.

- For bug tracking, JIRA has a starter package that is $10 per app for like 10 users. Some people like JIRA/Fisheye/Greenhopper etc, others don't so use your judgment. I think for the price and the functionality you get it's a decent deal. Beware though if you grow past the number of users it's a little bit of sticker shock.

- Look into either Agile type strategy. I've used it on several projects and it has served me well. Scope is way beyond this post or comment so I'll leave you to research. Again mileage will vary based off team experience and leadership.

Just a couple of thoughts. Hope this helps!
