So, here is my fogbugz list of tickets. EDIT: How about ACTUALLY posting the list? As an aside, I'm considering switching to Base Camp just for the price. Base Camp is $49, where FogBugz, due to the number of users, is $125. This is annoying though since FogBugz has my data. Curses!!! Has anyone used both? How do you like Base Camp?
Actually the biggest monkey on my back is this data import. Now, this FMP database is 3gig, which is completely insane for 633 records, however, it's not normalized so there is all kinds of crazy stuff in there duplicated. There are columns with +120kb of data which is too much for sql sserver. That's the point I'm at, getting rid of those huge entries, or at least cutting them down.
The existing pages are being re-skinned or wired up, the nav is evolving and it's doing great. There was a diagreement in the group on the format, and ultimately what came of it is a super awesome solution. We are doing a vertical as well as a horizontal navigation.
So, so far so good. Our launch date has been moved to 2/12. So far we are on track to meet that goal. I've been putting in a lot of extra hours, though, in order to make sure there is a little padding. .
Today was my neice Lilia's first birthday party!!! She's adorable, don't you agree?
Don't do it! Summary - pretty but doesn't scale to be a real issue-tracking system.

Basecamp is very nicely done as an AJAX example if you have a small number of todo items, don't need much searching don't need to escalate, relate or otherwise track the items.
The writeboard feature which looks like their wiki-equivalent is very much bolted-on. It is not searchable! You can't preview your entries before posting them so if you make minor editing mistakes in the wiki-like formatting, you have to go back and create a new version (there is a minor revision flag but it screws up differencing).
If you are a developer who likes to organise their bugs in some kind of tagging or categorised manner and particularly if you want to do things like defer bugs to later versions, Basecamp offers no support. It lacks even a sophisticated enough search that you could fake categorisation.
