Subject: Anouncement: eGroupWare fork of phpGroupWare - msg#00025

List: web.phpgroupware.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index
Based on the recent events (you surely have followed on den lists) Lars Kneschke, Reiner Jung and I (Ralf Becker) decided to fork phpGroupWare.

We are deeply displeased and frustrated about the way the project works at the moment and have articulated this several times. We learned from the list, that not everyone shares that opinion, which is there full right. As we cant change the existing phpGroupWare project, we think that fork is necessary to create the project we want to be part of.

We want to create eGroupWare different from how phpGW is setup today:

- more open development (wiki access, cvs access, ...)

- active developers should steer the project and be encouraged to work (Pim Snel - the developer of iDots - is working on a document defining this more detailed / similar to the Debian social contract)

- relaxed license handling (these GNU fanatics are really sucking), we want to have a LGPL'ed API which allows to import other tool-classes with free licenses without relicensing / editing them

- we want to focus on a user friendly interface (java-script) and more on user demands

- phpGW apps should be unchanged installable as long as possible

- we want a HEAD branch, which allows to implement apps to run at least in the last stable release too (dont need to say, that this is important for sponsored / payed development)

- big steps like the XSLT-templates should be developed in a separate branch and merged back, and not stop the other development for ages

- we want 2-4 releases each year, with smaller improvement steps

- we will monitor the phpGW development in separate branches and merge interesting developments (I just finished a bot, which automatically imports all phpGW commits in our repository for easy merging)

- our first release will have the Version number 1.0 and will be released with the the announcement of the fork, probably on a big Linux Fair in Germany end of October 2003

==> we want to have more fun with the development

==> we want to make money with free software and sponsored development

Some phpGroupWare developers already joined us, some are still
evaluating the situation or waiting if the elections will have any
impact (which I personally about).

From my personal experience I can report, motivation and spirit in
eGroupWare are really high and it's again a pleasure to code :-)

Our best wishes for our old project phpGroupWare

Re: etemplates

There are some docs in cvs: http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/phpgroupware/etemplate/doc/ Hope it helps a bit ;-) Drago Bokal wrote: Hallo, I'd be very happy if someone tells me the current link to etemplates tutorial. The one in wiki is unfortunately dead: * Tutorial: http://www.phpgroupware.org/cvsdemo/etemplate/doc/etemplate.html The manual could also be in German. Thank you!

RE: Anouncement: eGroupWare fork of phpGroupWare

All I can say is best of luck. You all know how I feel. Proof is in the pudding, it is too bad projects such as this hit so many roadblocks. I know that, I too have moved on; say goodbye phpgroupware, 'twas a long bug filled ride full of surprises and attitudes at every turn. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
