We have the heavyduty solution (JIRA/Greenhopper), but there's a lot of nice relatively cheap web stuff that I think might fit your bill.
Just one of the many, many solutions out there: Github for documentation/lightweight issue tracking getdonedone can link to your github and has a lot more features. Luckily, almost every piece of web issue tracking has a free trial: so, it's really easy to see which ones feel nice. It is really up to you whether http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall counts as minimal effort. I'd say, unless you've already got ruby 1.8 passenger stacks ready to go, it's probably not so much.
