Something like trac, maybe even trac - pardon my ignorance

I am looking for somewhere that I can basically host a bit of html & css -- a front-end framework of sorts. I would like to be able to have an svn repository as well as bug tracking, but I'd also like to be able to host other projects on the same installation of whatever this application may be. Is trac capable of that, or do I need to use something else?
From what I've read (and been told) trac is for hosting ONE project and it does that really well. I have too many projects to host, and not enough time to set up trac for all of them. I need something that will be able to host multiple projects. Thanks!

Trac is not really for hosting a project, it's for managing the development of a project. To put it plainly, all trac does (and I do LOVE trac by the way) is:
* Provide a developer Wiki. One that can't be sniffed at, at that.
* Provide milestone management
* Provide a ticket system
* Provide a suversion source browser, diff viewer and revision log viewer
It's written in python and mostly configured by command line tools.
Trac is only built to handle a single project too. We just use separate URLs for each project we run.
Maybe you can just create a patchwork of application which all do what you want when combined?

Sounds like the bulk of what you need is provided by trac, except for multiple project hosting and HTML/CSS page creation.

Actually, I think it was a mistake of terminology on my part. That is exactly what I need... I need it to manage several projects (your list sounds perfect for what I need to do)

Can you elaborate on this?

I mean we have a separate installations (separate websites) for each project we run

Is it difficult to set up? Do you have any recommendations for python (or more specifically django) friendly websites that I could host trac projects on? I imagine they will be a mix of PHP/Python/HTML/CSS/Javascript projects, not that that really matters.
