At $PRIOR_FIRM, we used Keystone for all trouble-ticketing, but it
really lacked in a couple of areas, mostly the utter lack of e-mail
integration.

Some people really like RT (Request Tracker).  And I've lately heard a
lot of good remarks about Incyte Project Manager.  

You might find this file useful.  I just created it yesterday, so it's 
a bit rough:

I've been having a miserable time trying to evaluate knowledgebase
software.  Part of the problem for that and similar categories,
including bugtracking/helpdesk software, is that nobody's in agreement
on what the boundaries of those vs. CRM vs. resource/asset management
vs. workflow management vs. project management vs. ERP are -- or how
much spillover between categories is desirable.

I've been trying to find a simple-to-maintain Web framework into which I
could pour all of my forest of Linux-information text files, organised
by category.  I don't personally need multiple logins or access control.
I don't really need everything stored in a database.  I'd really just
like to find something simple and effective, that I don't need to spend
a month setting up and another month learning.  

I have some initial notes (which aren't organised, so far) about
possible candidates at

I've encountered this repeatedly, e.g., with PHPGroupWare.  Argh!
