[edit] Technology used
Feng Office uses PHP, JavaScript, AJAX (ExtJS) and MySQL technology.
Several open source projects served as a basis for development. ActiveCollab's last open sourced release was used as the initial code base. It includes CKEditor for online document editing.
[edit] System requirements
The server could run on any operating system. The system needs the following packages:
- Apache HTTP Server 2.0+
- PHP 5.0+
- MySQL 4.1+ (InnoDB support recommended)
On the client side, the user is only required to use a modern Web browser.
[edit] History
OpenGoo started as a degree project at the faculty of Engineering of the University of the Republic, Uruguay. The project was presented and championed by Software Engineer Conrado Viña.[5] Software Engineers Marcos Saiz and Ignacio de Soto developed the first prototype as their thesis. Professors Eduardo Fernández and Tomás Laurenzo [1] served as tutors. Conrado, Ignacio and Marcos founded the OpenGoo community and remain active members and core developers. The thesis was approved with the highest score.
Currently there is a second project for OpenGoo at the same University being developed by students Fernando Rodríguez, Ignacio Vázquez and Juan Pedro del Campo.[6] Their project aims to build an open source Web-based spreadsheet.[7]
On December 2009 the OpenGoo name was changed to Feng Office Community Edition.
