Client Bug Tracking System

As a php/sql freelancer, I felt the urge to have a private BTS to keep in contact with clients and keep track of the (hopefully) few bugs they reported. I needed a system  simple and easy to install and manage. I needed to restrict users to a certain project (a client shouldnt be posting a bug to a project she doesnt own ;P ). I planned to try out 3 projects:

  1. phpbt
  2. whups
  3. mantis

I finally opted for the first one. I didnt even install Whups when I realized I needed to install the Horde framework first. Mantis is a nice and nifty one, it has a really cool layout, but it hasnt any group2project restriction management (you get only some fixed groups and privileges to manage). Phpbt has what I was looking for, I already thought about a couple of features it would be cool to add, I will start working on it as soon as possible.
