PicoLibre is a basic platform designed to host development projects.
The PicoLibre project is a comprehensive platform designed to host development projects. Created with the objective of providing a collaborative space for developing software that is both easy to use and learn, it is particularly well-suited for educational contexts. The platform comprises of several high-level applications, including phpGroupware, Sympa, and CVS.
One of the key features of PicoLibre is its communication space that allows members of project teams to collaborate effectively via mailing lists. In addition, it provides a document-sharing space via CVS, making it ideal for software development. The latest release of PicoLibre comes with several new features, including phpGroupware 0.9.16-compliant code, which makes it deployable on the current stable version of phpGroupware.
One of the benefits of this new release is that PicoLibre can now work over postgreSQL as well as MySQL, which was the default and only RDBMS used during testing. There has also been a complete rewrite of many of PicoLibre's phpGroupware modules and applications. These modules now adhere to better coding standards, are object-oriented, and follow the MVC scheme. The enhanced security, maintainability, and minor functional improvements make PicoLibre an even better platform for hosting development projects.
Another exciting development in this latest release is the production of Debian packages, which provides an easy and recommended distribution option. These packages include phpgroupware-picoforge, which comprises phpGroupware applications, and picolibre-backend, which contains everything required on the file-system side for CVS's jail, LDAP, SSH, chroot, and sympa.
Overall, PicoLibre is a simple yet fully-featured platform that provides an exceptional collaborative space for software development. With its user-friendly interface and easy-to-learn environment, it's an ideal choice for educational contexts.
