Online collaboration

For tracking versions with comments, either subversion or git are easy 
to setup, git tends to be easier I believe, but is a distributed system, 
so people can forget to push changes. It is good if you want to commit 
off-line though and it is easier to branch with git. Both have gui 
interfaces, and at least with windows and linux it is possible to 
integrated into the file explorer (tortoisesvn/tortoisegit in windows, 
rabbit vcs under nautilus/gnome, probably other options as well).

For collaborations and tickets, trac is pretty minimal and simple, but 
good enough for most stuff
http://trac.edgewall.org/

For knowledge base, a wiki system is usually best.

Hope that helps
