We use TRAC http://trac.edgewall.org/
It's python, with a wrapper for SVN (and git in dev state), ticketing 
and wiki systems built in.

I wouldn't say it's the best product I've ever used, the ergonomy is 
sometimes clunky, but considering the difficult problems it's trying to 
solve, it does a pretty good job at it.

The wiki is kind of living on its own, but the real benefit of this 
system is to integrate the ticketing with the releases. So for each 
release (in our case, branches in SVN), you have a set of tickets, and 
you can follow the completion of a release by the number of tickets 
open/close.

If you have a large number of project, you might have to create as many 
TRAC repository as project.
