aC suitable for software project?

Recent posts in this topic
I would like to use activeCollab for a software project sort of as a lighter weight version of sourceForge/collabNet ... did a bit of digging on aC but couldn't quite find what I was looking for ...
Does activeCollab have capability to host subversion for our project's code development, handle multiple developers, etc? If aC isn't suitable for this, any suggestions for an alternative? I'm just in the beginning stages of starting a project, but would like to keep costs down (collabNet wants $50/month per user which seems a bit steep this early in the game).
Thanks!

Hi,
We use activeCollab for activeCollab development - we broke roadmap into milestones where every milestones has a number of tickets that need to be completed. Additionally we use discussions to discuss general stuff, status updates so we always know who is working on what and pages for writing (blog posts, documentation etc).
There is no SVN integration, but you can use API to post things in your activeCollab (like creating discussion on commit so you have every commit logged and people notified).
If that does not work for you check out Trac. It is free and optimized for software projects, but lacks some of the features activeCollab has - discussions, subtasking, time tracking, status updates etc.
