Release Day

posted 08:30PM Feb 28, 2007 with tags mindquarry opensource release by Lars Trieloff

From my posting history (only del.icio.us links in the last five days) you may have seen that I have been very busy in the last days. The reason for this is now visible for everyone: The new Mindquarry Website is online and, even more important Mindquarry 1.0-M1 is available for download.

Mindquarry is a teamwork support software that supports the teamwork of software developers, technical writers, engineers, scientists, designers and analysts by enabling file sharing with version control, easy-to-edit WYSIWYG-Wiki and a flexible task management system that features customizable fields that can be added on-demand. The basic idea of Mindquarry is to use tools that have proven their ability to solve teamwork problems in the open source community like version control systems, wikis or bug trackers and to make them available to other information workers (those without a degree in CS) by integrating the tools and providing a simple, streamlined user interface.

Mindquarry is open source (Mozilla Public License) and uses many of the great open source products of the Apache Software community, most notably Apache Cocoon, Apache Jackrabbit, Apache Lucene and Apache Maven. Additionally Subversion, DocBook and Dojo are used intensively in Mindquarry. So my thanks goes to the open source community, especially to Jeremy and Ellen who helped us getting up to speed with open source development.
