Hi Mattias,
I think looks great, and it is done in PHP, which is awesome!
It could easily be adapted to my needs.
Thanks for your help.

Since it sounds to me that you're using "project" to mean something fairly
quick in terms of time from start to implementation (not months or years), I
suggest you take a look at FlySpray, which is what I use.

It's a free, open-source issue tracker for bugs and feature requests.
You can enter many "projects" (e.g. customer projects) which have their own
tasks. Tasks can depend on the completion of another task. Keeps people
updated via email. The only things I could think of that it's lacking from a
"project management" point-of-view is a GANTT chart, and things like time
estimates. Since it's open source, it can also be customized to your needs.

Installation is pretty easy if you have a server that runs PHP and MySQL
(Trac and Bugzilla gave me lots of trouble). If you don't have one, you
could easily find hosting within your budget.

HTH,

Mattias
