We use SurroundSCM for source control. We've found it to be really stable
and useful. We used to use a Wiki for daily project management but we've
recently switched to Producers using MS Project and then using Basecamp for
basic daily task tracking.

We also use PHPbugtracker for tracking bugs. Our methodology is as follows:

SurroundSCM is used for the duration of the project.

Tasks are entered into Basecamp until beta. Producers own the schedule.
After beta, everything is done from bugtracker.

Skype and MSN for day-to-day communication (we're spread across 3 different
countries, so it's mostly online). Skype is really usefull for 2-3 way
conversations, but it's really disruptive. You can still keep working while
IM-ing. I agree it can be a time-sink if not carefull, though.

We use Mantis (www.mantisbt.org) for bug- and task- tracking.

At the moment using IonForge for source-code. Thinking of swapping to SVN.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for a asset control solution that
artists don't hate?

We also use FTP a lot, to prove a history of builds.
