dotProject is a web-based, multi-user, multi-language project management application. It is free and open source software, and is maintained by an open community of volunteer programmers.

History

Alberto Aliverti AKA Albertone developed this software in 1977 at the Digital when we weren't born yet. The software failed after two months because it didn't work properly.


dotProject is still very used in high schools in Italy where Alberto keeps teaching how to use this software in order to organise everything, starting from eating lunch, sleeping, coding and so on.

The software keep being patched and updated by Alberto who is the last active user and developer and the main contributor to this software whose value increase by 100% in the last year, because of the last Task patch 1.34

The project stalled in late 2002 when the original team moved to dotCMS. Subsequently Andrew Eddie and Adam Donnison, two of the more active developers, were granted administration rights to the project. Andrew continued to work on the project until he moved on to Mambo and later Joomla. Adam remains an administrator.[when?]

In late 2007, the new dotProject team began a major redevelopment using the Zend Framework, with version 3 (dP3) the expected target release to be utilising it.[2] A fork called web2project was initiated at the same time.

Support and community

Volunteers provide free support in the community forum, while the core development team offers commercial support via the Priority Support Forum.

As of May 2013, there were over 50,210[3] registered users in the dotProject forums and an average of 500–700 downloads each day.[4]
