GNU GLUE - Links Users Everywhere

This project has been decommissioned. This web page is kept here for historical purposes only.

With GNU Groupware, you can make a difference.

The purpose of the GNU GLUE project is to create a distributed groupware application framework based on Internet protocols, suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous as well as both on-line and disconnected operation.

Pending tasks:

evaluate software and design options
define core network protocols
design application programming framework
develop back-end and front-end components
develop a set of advanced groupware applications based on the groupware framework
provide migration/interoperability support for legacy groupware
write documentation (manuals, FAQs, tutorials)
create world-wide user/developer support infrastructure
experiment with novel groupware ideas
lobby for regional government support of project

Possible applications:

Group brainstorming and participant-moderated problem solving
Project definition, planning and tracking
Collaborative authoring and software development
Issue tracking and "customer relationship management"

Project roadmap:

Bootstrapping version: 2015
Release version: 202x

As the GNU GLUE project will build on a lot of existing free software packages, it will have to inherit the terms of the respective licenses. However, it is intended that most of the system will be published under terms that are compatible with the GNU General Public License. Support for legacy systems migration and interoperability (such as for Lotus Notes, proprietary SQL databases, etc.) may rely on availability of the respective proprietary software packages, but will not be required to use GNU GLUE.
