hipergate

From Encoresoup - The Ultimate Guide to Free/Open Source Software

hipergate is an open source web-based application suite. It is released under the hipergate Public License, which covers all open source requirements, and is very similar to GPLv3

[edit] Functional Modules

hipergate includes 7 different modules by default. Every module can be activated in a user/group/domain basis.

Collaborative tools and Groupware Module

Project Management and Support Issues Tracking Module

[edit] Architecture

hipergate is a 100% pure Java, server-based application. That means you only need a web browser to access to all features. Any Servlet/JSP compatible web-server can handle it.

Information is stored in a Relational Database. In 2.x releases, you can use PostgreSQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. Newer 3.x versions can use MySQL 5, IBM DB2 and Cloudscape.
