Project Status

Thanks to everyone for your interest! Based upon the number of visits to this site, I felt a need to give an update on the project status: the project is alive and well!

History



Internet Floor Plans (IFP) software has been in development for almost five years, and continues to be used by large commercial businesses to manage hundreds of locations. After realizing the benefits of opening up other projects under a "software-as-a-service" friendly license (the Affero GPL), we decided to do the same with IFP.

Open Source



Although IFP has been in development for several years, it has only been open source for a few months. We had to rearrange a lot of the code and prepare it to be used in standard installations, rather than complex, unique setups, as had been done in proprietary mode.

Current Priorities



The major priority at the moment is to support the space plan engine with commodity open source tools like ming, gnash, svg, mapserver, and openlayers.

Get Involved!



Are you capable with PHP, XML, and XSL? You are welcome to help out. We'll be setting up forums and a mailing list soon, but in the meantime, please feel free to comment on any of the posts.

Thanks again for your interest and we'll be planning a stable release very soon.
