Question

I'm looking for a software which can replace my Excel solution I'm using now. I create tasks in an Excel file, people concerned can take it from a share folder, see if any work needs to be done, if so update the file and send it back.

This solution is quite awful to be honest.

What I need:

Build data from a CSV file (not necessarily like Excel, could be a ticketing software for example)
Mass task edition (multiple edition in one time)
Manage permissions (people concerned can only change a row or a cell)
Bug tracker (like on GitHub)
Open source is a must

I know this is a very specific question but if anyone has a solution (or several of them which could work together) it will help my searches a lot.

Explanation / Answer

There are several task management applications that may fit your needs. This is what I use:

bumpy-booby - Simple, responsive and highly customizable PHP bug tracking system (Demo)

Can import export/export to JSON (easily convertible to/from CSV)
Supports user groups and read/write permissions for each.
No database server required, easy setup (just upload the files to your web server)
Free Open Source Software (MIT license)

Although it is mainly designed for bug tracking, you can easily use it to keep track of tasks/todo lists, share files...

TinyIssue is an alternative which is less bug-tracking oriented, but misses some important features
