My friends and I are about to collaborate on a small gaming project, and I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for a nice web-based project management tool.

Here's a list of features I'm looking for:

  • Perl Based (althought PHP is fine too)
  • Free (or cheap)
  • Doesn't use MySQL, otherwise I'll have to pay my web host $5/mo extra :(
  • Forum support (with multiple categories)
  • File uploads/download capability (for builds)
  • Photos (for screenshots)
  • Easy to setup, manage, and tweak
  • Secure (allows login/password)

    • So far, I've only looked at SlashCode and PHPNuke. They look really nice, however they're more focused on news, and probably many whistles and bells I wouldn't use. At the moment, I'm using Yahoo! Groups which is a great service, although having better forum support (and less ads) would be nice.

    Thanx in advance!
