At the moment we are a small development team of 2. All our software is used inhouse. Currently staff just walk to our desk when they want new software developed or when they want new features added to existing software, or when bugs arise.
I am looking for a better management process of this. Do I get staff to send an email instead and then that can be designated to a developer. Or is there a simple software app out there that could help?
I want a simple method for doing this as the staff are unlikely to use something if too time consuming or complex. They find it too easy to approach a developer personally!
Anything to recommend please?

One option is to use JIRA. It has a feature where emails sent to a certain address can get turned in to backlog items (using the email subject line as the title).

Keep it as it is for now: face-to-face communication is always better than using any piece of software...
It will be only when you will grow to more developers that you will really need such software: from online or cloud based (ie Zimbra) to VCSs (version control systems) hosted on your machines.

I'm searching a ticketing system in order to implement it on some business. I need a ticketing system with these possibilities and characteristics (if it's possible) or the maximum of it:
Must be compatible with Linux
Open-source code and free software
Compatible with LDAP (I want to do authentications with LDAP)
Possibility to open a ticket and receive the answer via mail (user's side, operators can have the web interface, they should but not must)
The system should contain a wiki section or something like that in order to implement some guides & FAQs for users
I know that I'm searching for a very specific ticketing system and I'm being very demanding :P but I should do in that way.
If you know some ticketing system that provides several of these options your answers will be also welcome.
Thanks for all!
take a look at Redmine, it should have everything you want. You can use LDAP as user management, implement a wiki per projet, be notified by mail when a ticket is created / updated and the source code is available.
Redmine official website
The characteristics you want are very similar with the ticket system I do use in my company.
I suggest to you the GLPi ticket system, is open source and fill all your requirements.
I hope you like it :D

I'm wondering, if there is Axure RP alternative for a better price. I used other apps, but ended with Axure RP because of two fundamental advantages:
it's not only wireframe tool, but it lets me prototype whole web/app with functional demonstrations
it generates/exports prototype and customers can easily try personaly (it's HTML site and i upload it to my server and clients just get email with link to follow)
So, is there anything else like Axure RP meeting my two criteria with better price? All apps i've seen mainly fail in second condition.
Yes - atomic.io lets you do both of these things.
You can go from low fidelity, right up to fully functioning prototypes that use things like logic, data, and variables.
You can also easily share an URL with anyone. (see: https://atomic.io/learn/sharing)
And there is a free plan. :-)
atomic.io
You can use moqups.com , it's a web app.
it lets you to make prototypes with linked pages and more .
also it lets you to share your Design through a URL on its site.
There are a ton of prototyping tools.

It always depends on what your main goal to achieve is.
Justinmind (https://www.justinmind.com) is very close to Axure.
If you do not mind sharing your prototypes you can look into a bunch of different tools that are webbased (i.e. https://www.figma.com)

I'm new to SharePoint and I'm looking for resources to exemplify a good layout for a project management oriented site. I've made a Project site, but that's as far as I've gotten. Has anyone run across any good resources for this?
If you've started with a Project Site, your Task List and Calendar are going to do quite a bit for you. There's a few options you'll want to turn on, such as the Timeline in the Task List. Dig around your available Apps and experiment with what you see. You'll likely need a List for something, so check out custom lists while you're experimenting (they operate a bit like an Excel spreadsheet).
Since you're new to SharePoint, you might consider looking for O'Reilly's Information Architecture for the World Wide Web. If you'll be doing much more site design, that book will help you determine what sites need and how they should be organized. It's a fantastic book and not difficult to read, although the second half of the book is pretty specific to coded web design, which isn't what SharePoint is for new users.

Does anyone know of a bug tracking piece of software that has community based features like rep, friends, badges and community based voting?
I'm looking for a hybrid of uservoice, stackoverflow and bugzilla. Does such a beast exist?
A commercial offering is Get Satisfaction which offers a similar service. Their main selling point is to encourage your users to help other users, with the ability for your staff to intervene and help. It also integrates with your web application.
See the "what it is" page - I would post a link but it redirects you if you follow a link from here.
Part feedback system, part community engine, completely different than anything you've had a chance to test with your customers.
14,000 companies. Thousands of employees participating in conversations. Millions of users. What gives?

I know this question has been asked before but I am looking for bugtracking system that is free and is just online.
We are not looking for anything fancy, just want the test team to be able to log something so that testers can go back and go through the bugs.
I've looked at bugzilla but it has to be installed and the installation seems very long. Basically looking for something quick and dirty...
If this is a class project (e.g., a university course project), you can get a free FogBugz account for the duration of the project. Joel has mentioned it several times on the Stack Overflow Podcast. I only suggested this because you didn't give any details about what type of project you are working on. This may not apply to your situation.
You can use Google Code. It's for open source projects, so your bugs will be visible, but it is free to use.
Also this.
you could always create your own using google docs.
We use veoproject.com to track our bugs. It's a fully-featured project management system, but works great for our needs. They have a basic free account that works really well.
I like BugHost.
