A nice SWiki-based system would be great, but I do know of some 
alternatives...

First, there's WREQ...http://www.math.duke.edu/~yu/wreq/
I've used this one quite a bit.  It has it's quirks, but it's free and
it gets the job done.

Also, there's the Ministry of Truth...http://mot.sourceforge.net/
I used this one years ago.  It had promise, but I didn't have much of 
a chance to customise the thing.

Keystone (http://keystone.whitepj.net/) was really featureful when I tried
it, if a bit complex.  Not sure about the license though...it may be 
commercial now.

And of course, there's Bugzilla...http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
This one is a beast to configure and get working...I ended up getting
frustrated with it and moved on to WREQ.

Ideally, for tracking bugs on an internet-based project like Squeak
an email and web interface would be ideal.  WREQ does this, as does Bugzilla.

(Back in my days at HP we used a nice system called xddts...I haven't
seen a system as utile as that since.)
