What is Lucane ?
Lucane is a free groupware platform written in Java, designed with extensibility in mind.
You can see some screenshots if you want to see what it looks like.
Some applications are bundled with the platform :
- A peer to peer quick message service
- Client/Server and peer to peer file sharing
- A multi-user chat
- Forum & Forum administration
- Calendar
- IMAP mail client based on JMail
- Personal notes
- Todo List
- AudioConf using jspeex
- ...
The platform as a whole provides an ease of development for your networked applications :
- Object based network protocol
- Client/Server and peer to peer
- User and groups management
- Multi Language system
- ...
As an example, the QuickMessage application is made of less than 200 lines of code.
What is a groupware ?
A groupware is a program that allows several people to work together in a simpler and more productive way than only using email. A groupware is strongly network oriented and provides some tools making it possible for distant people to communicate in a synchronous or asynchronous way. For example, it will be possible for users to share files, or even to store them on a server and to work with them at the same time. A lot of tools can be integrated in a groupware. That's why it is so important to remain extensible.
Any help is welcome !
Even if you aren't a programmer, you can help us to improve Lucane.
