dotProject was originally developed by dotMarketing Inc. to be an open source replacement for
Microsoft Project , having a very similar user interface, but extending to include project management functionality. Begun in2000 the project was moved from dotmarketing.org toSourceforge inOctober 2001 .The project stalled in late
2002 with the administrator not being contactable. Two of the more active developers,Andrew Eddie andAdam Donnison applied for, and were subsequently granted, administration rights to the project. Andrew continued to work on the project until he moved on toMambo and subsequentlyJoomla . Adam remains an administrator.Support and Community
