Eridu - Web based Groupware / News: Recent posts

In the works of Deepak Kumar Vasudevan:

"Let us bring back Eridu in 2005 by a more systematic planning strategy."

This project is alive and looking for more developers.

Hi Everyone...
Currently the Eridu project is on hold.
We need more help, on a regular basis.
This Big project cannot be coded by only one person. Currently Eridu Work Very well on a Windows, and Linux Platform. We Need CSS Coder, And Experienced PHP Coder.

Many Bug has been Squached. But many Feature Need to be Implemented.

Thanx..

We are in the process of making a few big changes to the Eridu system. Most of the code has been written, and over the next couple of days we will implement the new changes. The demo site has been put on hold until this work is complete.

The new architecture will allow users to share their specific modules(email,calendar, address book) with other users. This also includes giving specific permissions to certain users. This is a giant leap in making Eridu a groupware application.... read more

Well, the holidays are over, and a few of us spent some time coding and got tons of stuff accomplished. There is too much to mention it all, but there were improvements in the Calendar, E-mail, Internationalization, and error Handling and Loging.

We still have ALOT of work to do though, and are looking for serious, dedicated people who would like to contribute to the project.

Additionaly, we made some changes in our release plans. Initially, we were planing on releasing a 1.0 version with limited functionality, followed up a couple of months later by a 2.0 version that contained "all the features you could want in a groupware suite". However, we decided that that should REALLY be the goal for the 1.0 release.... read more

Eridu 0.9.1 fixes some major problems with the install procedure and a few other glaringly large bugs.

The Eridu team is proud to present Eridu 0.9.0!
This is a BETA release which will allow people to see all the great thing coming when release 1.0! We also hope to get lots of feedback and bug reports so that we can make the best product possible!

Matt Roberts:
- Implemented arrays for email, calendar, addrbook, and gal IS's in
eriduState.
- emailIS, calendarIS, etc. are pointers to an element in the
respective arrays.
- the eriduState constructor initializes these pointers to point at the element in the arrays keyed as "Default". I chose to use this kind
of key rather than indexing by numbers to allow the user to name their different entries, thus allowing switching through a listbox containing the names, which are also the keys for the array. This should eliminate the task of mapping a name to a numerical index.... read more

The project has been officially started today!
