Why Dolibarr as name for this project ?
This question is still unknown. Only original developer, Rodolphe Quiédeville, could answer this question. In a mail found on a mailing-list, we can learn that Dolores Ibárruri was used to found this name.
Historic of Dolibarr development
Dolibarr was started by Rodolphe Quiédeville, from scratch, and saved under CVS, hosted by Savannah, in April 2002. Jean-Louis Bergamo, another April member, started the foundation management module.
- Version 1.0 was released in September 2003.
Rodolphe works principally on development and win a victory at the Trophées du libre in 2003, in category "Enterprise management". This was the reason why other developers discovered this new software. Among them Laurent Destailleur realized its first modifications to the project in December 2003. He was then helped by Régis Houssin 1.5 year after, in June 2005. They are the 2 main leaders until today but was helped by a lot of external contributions from other standalone developers or companies.
Read page Roadmap for history of other versions.
Régis Houssin and company NLTechno (Laurent Destailleur) are today an important sponsors of Dolibarr by offering 2 important developers, web hosting of web sites www.dolibarr.fr / www.dolibarr.org or the CVS statistics reporting tool.
A lot of other developers, freelances, amateurs or companies (example Auguria) contribute, with their tests, their patch submission on forum or mailing-list to the Dolibarr enhancement.
Following page CVS Project statistics give you a view of evolution of lines of code.
