A recent developed in Redmine -land is an importer for MantisBT, a leading PHP-based project management tool.

Improve Redmine's client management options

Able to work directly with Subversion code repositories, Redmine gives you support for multiple projects, per-project tasks, content management (blog, news, document management, wiki), both a calendar and GANTT chart to view progress, a very comprehensive user management system that can even authenticate against LDAP (i.e.
