Essential Management provides a project management system for organizing and writing technical documents.

Essential Management is a multi-user project management system for managing intricate and complex information. Its initial purpose was to allow software development teams to create, maintain, track, and store project requirements on a multi-project basis in a multi-user environment. It has now become more abstract in the type of data it can maintain, allowing the easy addition of new data models and other expansions. Information can be stored in any of several database management systems, and can take advantage of a networked DBMS.

The first and most important feature of the application is that data is stored in a central data repository managed by some database management server; initially PostgreSQL fills this role, but support for others are growing. The repository is fully searchable. An alternative data storage format exists in the form of a locally maintained XML file if the user wishes to use it.

One of the key features Essential Management was designed around is the ability to define and maintain relationships between requirements. Using the software requirement model as an example, our application allows users to define projects; each project is composed of zero or more root requirements, which are typically business level requirements. Each business requirement has zero or more sub-requirements, which either refine the parent business requirement or dive into the functional requirements which allow the business requirement to be achieved. This tree continues to branch and grow deeper until the most basic level that the user wishes to define is reached.

In addition the relationship between parent and child requirements, relationships can be defined between requirements not in the same branch. These relationships may have any meaning the user wishes to define and can be unidirectional or bi-directional.

Essential Management implements the concept of user level permissions, which provides a small measure of security for the projects and their requirements. Additionally, creation of and changes to requirements can be traced to the user who initiated the action.

Finally, the application provides a means to track changes made to requirements during their lifetime so it is possible to determine when a change was made, what information was changed and who edited the requirement.

Solunas Hotel Management helps the user manage small to medium-sized hotels, holiday flats, guest houses, or car rentals.

The Solunas Booking Engine Software is aimed at Hotels and Holiday Homes of between 1 to 150 units who are seeking to market their accomodation over the internet.

Because the trend in online bookings has remained constant/continues to grow, experience shows this system to be well liked by customers with growth in orders extending into the double digits. It is also noteworthy that private landlords providing from 1 to 50 units have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to the latest technology.

The Solunas.org central portal tasks itself, through a worldwide volunteer effort, to create an alternative Booking-Platform to rival commercial product offerings.

The end user has two methods to reserve his accomodation. Firstly, a visual reservations calendar displaying room availability, offers the customer direct booking online by mouse-click.

The second method, offering a manual selecction of the booking period and number of persons, involves a list of available units or groups can, likewise, be booked directly online. Details of the total price and last minute bargains are generated straight from the system.

The booking path, known internally as Bookflow, can be modified for very individual requirements.

PHP Running Management or phpRunMan is a set of scripts for runners. Users can enter intermediate times of their training or race performance for calculating various statistics (distance, avg speed, time/km, projection on different distance, etc.). In PHP Running Management you can enter comments for the whole run or every intermediate segment so the data can be used as a logbook.

Every run (training or competition) is entered as a list of segments and times. You can specify the number of laps and the "offset" (manual correction) of the distance.

Several views are proposed:

- Year view: displays all the runs with their distance, time, average speed, etc.
- Detail view: shows the profile of a run by segment (time, speed, cumulated distance and other indicators).
- Month view: aggregates runs per month over the selected year, shows every months distance, time, average speed.

All the scripts are written in PHP (requires GD lib activated too) and the data is stored in MySQL database.

LDAP User Management System (LUMS) provides a set of basic LDAP API functions for PHP and a strong configuration language. The project can then be used to create Web services or can be used in any PHP script.
The language allows the administrator to define LDAP object types along with their corresponding attributes.
Each attribute may be defined as required as multivalued with a type (string, binary, dn, telephone, mail, etc.) and can be user inserted, constant, auto incremented, or function created. Attribute uniqueness is supported.
It exports the following LDAP operations:
- function LUMS_ldap_search($L_binddn,$L_bindpassword,$L_basedn,$L_scope,$L_filter,$L_attrs_array)
Returns an $info object with the search results or a string with an error
- function LUMS_ldap_add_entry($L_binddn, $L_bindpassword,$L_object_type,$L_entrydn,$L_entry_info)
Returns 0 for success or string with error
- function LUMS_ldap_change_password($L_binddn, $L_bindpassword,$L_entrydn,$L_newpassword)
Returns 0 for success or string with error
- function LUMS_ldap_modify_entry($L_binddn, $L_bindpassword, $L_object_type, $L_entrydn, $L_change_info)
Returns 0 for success or string with error
- function LUMS_ldap_delete_entry($L_binddn, $L_bindpassword, $L_object_type, $L_entrydn)
Returns 0 for success or string with error
- function LUMS_ldap_rename_entry($L_binddn, $L_bindpassword, $L_object_type, $L_entrydn, $L_newrdn, $L_newparent, $L_deleteoldrdn)
Enhancements:
- Add a virtual attribute which is not stored on ldap but can be useful when creating other attribute values
- Add mapping between an indexing attribute value to other attribute values
- Fix a few typos
- Perform the same checks for all value types not just uservalue
