Besides that i agree with Seth, its better then OTRS (at least for our needs),
But my favourite option is still Trac. I think we could use Trac for our needs.

Someone also brought up using a trac instance, it'd be lighter weight
then bugzilla and more customizable (for us). It would be far more
light weight then OTRS but not as light weight as a mailing list.
Here's the pros and cons as I see them:
Mail-List - Cons:
1) Spam
2) Difficult to comment on existing threads if not subscribed
3) Stuff that takes a long time to fix may get lost
4) Difficult to know who's working on what
Mail-List - Pros:
1) Very light weight
2) Hard to completely ignore
3) No registration required
4) Almost no administrative overhead
Trac - Cons:
1) Requires a FAS login
2) Could just be ignored
3) Little bit of initial configuration required
Trac - Pros
1) Ticket ownership is known
2) Easy to search / filter
3) Provides milestones/components
I have to say in general I like Trac over a mailing list... but not by
much. I'd be curious to see what the others say. Any comments?
