ProjectPier.org is a fork of the open source activeCollab project, which can be found at www.activecollab.com. Kudos to Ilija Studen for producing such a wonderful masterpiece!
The goal of the ProjectPier.org project is to create a new project fork, picking up the code after activeCollab 0.7.1. The code will remain open source under the Honest Public License. Ilija has indicated on his website that activeCollab is being rewritten and the new version 1.0, while it may remain open source, will only be developed by his new company. ProjectPier.org should not detract in any way from what Ilija is doing and I sincerely hope Ilija succeeds in creating a successful commercial version of activeCollab.
This project is not about Ilija’s decision to go commercial and I do not wish to debate that issue here. We simply wish to create a new project based on the open source activeCollab 0.7.1. The immediate goal is to provide users new features and bug fixes without changing the underlying database structure so that when activeCollab 1.0 is released, users can upgrade to that commerical product if they wish, when Ilija releases it.
We hope that by supporting the user base in this way, we can take the pressure off of Ilija and he can take as much time as he needs to make activeCollab 1.0 as wonderful as possible.
