– Disclaimer –

The last update to phpGroupware took place in 2004. You can probably still run the code, but I would suggest eGroupware which was initially created from a fork of our codebase. I cannot speak to the quality of eGroupware, as I have never used it.

phpGroupWare

phpGroupWare was a fully featured, web based messaging, collaboration and enterprise management platform.

phpGroupWare came with over 50 applications that can be mixed and matched according to your needs. Some of the most powerful features included:

  • Contacts management
  • Email
  • Shared calendar
  • Web content and document management and sharing
  • Project management
  • Issues tracking

All this is freely downloadable.

phpGroupWare is free/open source software – which means the software can be modified to suit your specific needs.

At the core of phpGroupWare is our advanced Application Programming Interface (API) which allows you to build and deploy your own web based applications quickly and easily. Our API easily supports multiple database backends, permissions and access controls, user interface generation and multiple languages.

phpGroupWare is flexible and scalable. It is suitable for small groups of people and large organisations. phpGroupWare is international – we currently support over 20 languages. Around the world tens of thousands of people use phpGroupWare every day.

phpGroupWare is a GNU Package.

0.9.18 edges closer

Submitted by ‘skwashd’ 22-May-2008 – 04:52 pm

After 4 years phpGroupWare has started to prepare for a new major release. It has been decided that On 1 June 2008 the trunk of SVN will be branched to create the 0.9.18 release.

The first release from the branch will be a developer alpha of the core which will be designed to give developers some idea of what is coming in the new release. We hope that any bugs will be found and fixed quickly and this will allow us to create our first beta. The rest of the release schedule will be dependent on how testing and stabilising goes.

For more information please refer to the discussion on the developers list.

phpGroupWare conference a success

Submitted by ‘skwashd’ 21-Nov-2006 – 08:21 pm

From November 6 to 8, up to 15 phpGroupWare contributors and users met in Paris. The conference was an overwhelming success. During the 3 days contributors discussed ways of improving the project, community and product.

Although the current phpGroupWare community is a healthy and lively one, we are aware of some areas were we could improve. Several new contributors attended the conference who expressed an interest in helping to build the project. In the coming weeks more resources should become available for people wanting to contribute. The processes for becoming involved will be documented, along with information on developing and maintaining modules.

There was a lot of discussion on the code base. The discussions did not commit to a firm release plan, rather we agreed to release HEAD (aka 0.9.18) when it is ready. A 0.9.18 release roadmap will be published in the coming weeks after further discussion on the developers’ list.

Several users attended the third day of the conference – the dedicated user day. During this day there were presentations on various phpGroupWare applications and how they are used within organisations. Users were given opportunities to tell developers what they thought about the project and how we could improve.

The conference ended on a postive note with a broad vision for the future of the project being presented to attendees, followed by drinks and dinner. Although it was close to midnight when people headed off for the evening, the discussions around the table were up beat and focused on the future of the project.

A detailed summary of each session will be provided at conference site as material becomes available.
