For tracking versions with comments, either subversion or git are easy to setup, git tends to be easier I believe, but is a distributed system, so people can forget to push changes. It is good if you want to commit off-line though and it is easier to branch with git. Both have gui interfaces, and at least with windows and linux it is possible to integrated into the file explorer (tortoisesvn/tortoisegit in windows, rabbit vcs under nautilus/gnome, probably other options as well).

For collaborations and tickets, trac is pretty minimal and simple, but good enough for most stuff
http://trac.edgewall.org/

For knowledge base, a wiki system is usually best.

Hope that helps

    Hi
    I'm looking for an open source solution for collaborating on
    various tasks, mostly graphics related.
    I have access to a LAMP stack, so installing server-side software
    shouldn't be a problem.
    The problem is, I don't know what software we need.
    We need to have a repository of data, where people can upload and
    download the work they've done. It needs to be tracked and
    (automatically) documented. It also needs to have a good
    user-facing interface, the people using it will be graphics
    designers, not programmers.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Need your definition of collaboration, i.e: more details abut how
    you are thinking of working out the "collaborating on various
    tasks". And how secure/in-house does it have to be -can you use
    google/github as a platform? It's free for small biz & open
    source, how many people are you?


It needs to be in-house. That's the point. Until now we've been using a plethora of cloud services, and we want to move it all in-house.


    If you are thinking of a repository style collaboration, you can
    go the "github way". If you  need it in-house see:Gitorious,
    Gitlab, Gitolite, Gitosis, Gitweb. OR are you looking for a more
    "non programmers"  thing like Owncloud, Sogo, Zimbra.


Owncloud came up in the discussion, does anybody here have some experience to share?


    Do you wont/need/like a wiki, blog, or something else for docs?


Something else. Wikis and blogs are too cumbersome for what we need. Which is mostly just to track tasks and changes made to files.


    HTH,
