That's a great one I've heard, but isn't it pretty expensive?
redmine is ok, so is trac.
I've played about setting up both. If you have a VPS or dedicated server with shell access then Redmine is a dream to set up (took me about half an hour - mostly to convince fedora server to install the latest rubygems).
I've never used RoR before but it was excellent.
The other advantage over Trac, I found, was that Redmine handles remote repositories (specifically SVN) without batting an eyelid :)

I believe we might not need all the features of a traditional issue tracking system like bugzilla or JIRA. I've used trak in the past, and found it pretty light weight and easy to use to create new issues/milestones.
Do you have any other recommendations? Perhaps even a tracking system as a service (hosted).
