Open Source Bug-Tracking Software

Tracking bugs is one of those things that computers do very well. If you're developing software commercially, or even open source or for yourself then you should be using one. They do make managing the software, and improving the quality significantly easier, as you can usually prioritize the bugs and see what issues are outstanding.

There's a lot of bug-tracking software about, much of it web based using scripting languages such as php. However there are a couple of ASP.NET implementations that I know of plus the C based Fossil and the C++ Webissues. If you know of any other's (just the C, C++, C# and ASP.NET ones) that aren't listed on the new open source bug-tracking page, do let me know! Emails to cplus.guide@about.com.
