Hi everyone,
I’m here again to give you some news about the development of phpCollab 3.
First of all, there are some news on the wiki (here) about a patch for sfDoctrinePlugin that it’s needed to have the new release of phpCollab 3 works on your computer.

During the last iteration, we have developed (more details here):
1) Features for managing milestones
2) Features to relate issues with issues and milestones with issues
3) Dashboard for projects and users
4) Actions to add comments to ticket
5) View of a simple project roadmap

We build up a demo of the actual phpCollab 3 and it can be found here. You can try it using “admin” and “user” (username == password). It has to be said that, from the point of view of the User Experience, this version it’s simple (or even poor). In the other hand we think that it could be a good start for phpCollab 3, hopefully a “new” important open-source project!!
About the UX, we are trying to find experts that could help us building phpCollab 3 in a better way! (for developers and end users) Therefore, if you (UX guys) want to help us, send us an email ( phpcollab [at] ideato.it)

For all the designers who sent us emails, we are waiting to have some materials about the UX and then we would like to start a contest about the GUI layout. Hence, we’ll let you know about the contest when we have some “mockups” about what a user should “experienced” during his/her navigation on phpCollab 3.

For the developers: other than remember you to have a look here, we will send you an email (in a couple of days) about the next iteration with all the details about the user stories that we would like to implement. You will also find that list on the wiki. Moreover the gituhb repository of phpCollab it has been updated with the latest release. Feel free to download it! Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I’m really happy to see a lot of interest in the phpCollab3 project.
To all the people who have written to phpcolla [at] ideato.it asking how he/she could help: thank you very much! We will write you soon to arrange the next steps.

We are now in the middle of an iteration, at its end phpCollab3 should be ready to host itself!
So, we will work directly on phpCollab3 to develop phpCollab3!

Thanks again.

P.S.: Just in case some web designer is reading this, would you like to help us?

Hi all,
I’ve just published a new page on the wiki : Developers guidelines. It will contains all the “instructions” for those who want to help us as developers.

At the moment we are working on definying what will be developed during phpCollab3 next release. I’ll be in touch with you as soon as this plannig is over and I’ll wrote here all the details. If you have any question just write a comment or send an email to phpcollab [at] ideato.it

See you soon!

Hi everyone!

I’m Filippo. As Fullo wrote in the previous post, phpCollab is “moving ahead”. At the moment I’m the one who is working permanently at this project in collaboration with (and in the office of) Ideato s.r.l..

The new phpCollab will be developed with Symfony, Doctrine and following the agile methodologies such as TDD , DDD and XP. I’m speaking about a “new” application because it will inherit all the characteristics of the “old” Collab, re-written and updated, and it will have new featueres for making your project managment process as clear as possible. All the news about the project will be published here and as soon as we are at the “right” point we will tell you where to find a demo.

For those who wants to take a look at it, the source code is on github (phpCollab3). There is also a wiki that will be filled with all the information you will need, and hopefully with your comments and suggestions!
At this moment the project is under development and it is not reccomended to use it in “production”.

The phpCollab3 project is also possible thanks to “Consorsio Spinner”, “Comunità Europea”, “Ministero del Lavoro” and “Regione Emilia-Romagna”. As a matter of fact the “phpCollab3 project” has been presented to (and won) the Spinner2013 competition for projects about innovation.

Spinner2013, Comunità Europea, Ministero del lavoro and Regione Emilia-Romagna

We are sorry, but in the latest month (years) we didn’t do a lot for the community. Now Ideato, a young Italian company, has decided to sponsoring us in the 3.0 development.

From on the release of 2.5 the 2.x development will be officially stopped and the code unsupported. If you still need help on it, on the community forum Mindblender will help you, but no bugfix or whatever will be official released.

As announced times ago, the new release will be based on Symfony framework and it will be placed on a new svn repository with a gitHub clone (so you can feel free to fork, branch and collaborate). As soon an usable alpha code release, very limited in functionalities, will be published we will start to eat our own dog food, using phpCollab to develop phpCollab.

Moreover we will work using Agile Methods and Extreme Programming. We will publish all the user stories decided until now and we will give you the ability to write your own suggestions and stories, then all the code will be created using a TDD approach to ensure to have a product fully unit and functional tested.

Ideato is also actively working to ensure to have any important things such a good interface based on IA and UX principles absolutely needed by a software like this. But If you have interesting ideas fell free to contact us.

Stay tuned.
