in late 2007. Initially the project got off to a slow start and didn't make a formal release for over 18 months. Since the initial v1.0 release in June 2009, the project has continued an aggressive release schedule including one major release each June with minor releases each quarter. Since inception, the team has grown from three to five people with three being active regular contributors.
Since the entire original team member was former dotProject contributors, the design and development decisions were quite similar to dotProject itself. As time went on, the systems diverged though web2project has maintained a "converter" which allows dotProject users to perform a one-way conversion to web2project. At present, the web2project community suffers from fewer add on modules and a smaller community in general.
As of July 2010, web2project is available via RPM install for Mandriva Linux.
As of August 2010, there were over 800 registered users in the web2project forums and an average of 300 downloads each week Sourceforge Stats.
