LibreSource 2.2, the other forge

1) Introduction

  LibreSource is a versatile collaborative platform. Open Source, modular and highly customizable, 
  LibreSource is adapted to the collaborative software development, groupware, community leading, 
  e-archiving and Web publishing.

  Effective communication is a fundamental requirement for agile project management. 
  LibreSource 2.2 embed the Tigase Jabber server and the Jeti Jabber client. 
  This integration allows notifications and informal communication thru instant messaging. 
  LibreSource simplifies the creation of a dynamic community and help to maintain and enhance 
  team relationship in order to improve the cooperative efficiency.

  LibreSource 2.2 brings three new resources: LDAP groups, Dropboxes, and forms. The LDAP 
  group resource introduces the capability to map LibreSource groups of users from LDAP groups. 
  The dropbox resource allows users to upload files to a confidential area. With the form resource, 
  a manager can create an electronic form online and let users populate it. Such results can be 
  selectively displayed on any page of the server, as a table or as a answer record, and can be 
  exported to spreadsheets. This feature can be used to create questionnaires, registration forms, 
  or any application that need formal communication.

  In addition, LibreSource enforce its advantages. Several bugs have been fixed, the way security 
  is handled has been smoothed, the server is now faster, with a smaller memory footprint, and a 
  better packaging. Installation, configuration, customization and upgrade are now easier than ever.

  On a single server, LibreSource can host several projects, several groups of users, and grant 
  fine grain access to the resources. Based on Java/J2EE technology, LibreSource is a modular 
  web server that users can customize online by combining resources and rights: wiki pages, forum, 
  trackers, SCMs, files, download areas, dropbox, forms, etc.
