Integration of Libre Software Applications to Create a Collaborative Work Platform for Researchers at GET

Abstract

Libre software provides powerful applications ready to be integrated for the build-up of platforms for internal use in organisations. We describe the architecture of the collaborative work platform which we have integrated and designed for researchers at GET. We present the elements we have learned during this project in particular, with respect to contribution to external libre projects, in order to better ensure the maintainability of the internal applications, and to phpGroupware as a framework for specific applications development.
