Trac looks very solid. Curious. I'm starting a project soon and want the following functionality in the software that we use:

I want it to (a) track bug issues, (b) track milestones and a roadmap, (c) allow us to upload code to keep track of each of our changes to the code, and (d) give us a (login-restricted) wiki and/or forum so we can document the discussions/ideas we have.

I'll take a look at Trac in more detail later tonight, but if anybody knows off the top of your head if Trac (or some other software) does the things I mentioned above, let me know!

Yes; I should have mentioned, it has bug tracking (tickets) too.

The wiki not only works for arbitrary documents, but it's pretty well integrated elsewhere. For example, a ticket submitted to Trac can use wiki syntax. The tickets can also refer to Subversion revision numbers.

As an Apache server it can be authenticated in the usual ways.

I would like to second the recommendation of Trac. My only complaint (and a minor one at that) is that it's not intended for more than one project at a time. But it still beats the snot out of the competition for the exact requirements you just listed.

Check http://www.redmine.org . It's the same as Trac, only with multiple projects and multiple teams/roles per project.
