Online Library Application (OLA) project is a Web-based library system for small/medium organizations (books, videos, etc.).
The software allows users to browse the library collection over the Internet, and allows authorized persons to manage sign in and sign out procedures, resource adds and updates, and data backups.
It was originally written for a non-profit organization to manage their resource library.
Main features:
- internet based
- highly graphical
- compatible with Netscape and Windows browsers
- suitable for tracking many types of resources (books, magazines, videos, music, etc.)
- can store a large amount of data about each resource
- borrowers do not have to set up an account
- stores minimal information about borrowers--just the bare essentials
- simple database export function
- template based for easy configuration/customization
- optional gzip compressed output to save on bandwidth
- although designed for small organizations, catalog should scale well to millions of entries

Modularized Information Environment (MIE) is a Web-based information management tool designed to meet the needs of small or medium sized organizations.

Modularized Information Environment implements user authentication, storage of settings in a database, multi-lingual support and a presentation layer API that always generates well-formed XML.

SME Web Application Framework provides a Web application framework for small and medium-sized organizations.

SMEWebApp is a framework for constructing Web applications for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises, companies, institutions, and organizations). It is built on phpWebApp, and it is higher-level and more specific than phpWebApp.

It has some components that can be reused in any application (perhaps with small modifications), like hierarchical menus, user authentication, and user administration.

The aim of the project is to make Web application construction for SMEs easier than using VB.

Fedora Digital Object Repository is an open source software which gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects.
Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
This unique combination of features makes Fedora an attractive solution in a variety of domains. Some examples of applications that are built upon Fedora include library collections management, multimedia authoring systems, archival repositories, institutional repositories, and digital libraries for education.
Enhancements:
- This is a significant release of Fedora that includes a complete repackaging as a proper Web application.
- A new installer application makes it easy to setup and run.
- It now uses Servlet Filters for authentication.
- The Fedora repository can also be configured to calculate and store checksums for content.
- The RDF-based Resource Index has been tuned for better performance.
- A new high-performing RDBMS-backed triplestore has been developed that can now be plugged into the RI.

APbyAS provides Italian Web-based process re-engineering support.

Each employee survey his own real job and registers activities and times on weekly and annual basis. Results are summarized per unit and whole organization, with totals and averages.

The Email Server is designed to provide services offered by its commercial email products, such as IMAP/POP services, Web-Based Email Interface and Administration, Mail Filtering, Spam Blocking and Directory-Based Authentication and Addressbooks.
RH Email Server is fine for businesses and organizations of all sizes. Multiple commercial and educational installations are already using this project. The largest current user load that has been reported is 7,000 + users.
Interoperability between RHSD projects such as the RHSD Email Server and the RHSD Domain Controller will allow for use of Single-Sign On. RHSD also utilizes IETF Standardized projects and therefore will be compatible with any Directory system compatible with LDAP v.3.
Main features:
- Web-Based Email Client for Users
- LDAP Directory / Authentication
- Mail Filtering
- Addressbooks

Pagetool provides a CMS (content management system) that allows people with limited technical skills to contribute to a website.
What is Pagetool?
Pagetool is a program that allows people with limited technical skills to modify and contribute to an organizations web site via a web browser. There is no need for using an FTP program or for purchasing html editing programs like Dream Weaver or Go Live!. Furthermore, for basic site maintenance, no knowledge of HTML is necessary.
How Does it Work?
Pagetool stores all web pages in a database. To the average web user, it looks and acts like a typical web site. However, it you go to the special admin section and enter the correct username and password, you will be able to see a list of web pages on your site. By selecting a web page and clicking "edit" you will be able to change the content of that particular page.
Was Pagetool designed specifically for Nonprofits?
Media Jumpstart launched the Pagetool project (as a branch of myphpPagetool) with the express goal of making a web content management system appropriate for nonprofit organizations. As the project developed, however, it has attracted diverse developers who have been adapting it to work with for profit organizations, consultants, and universities, making it useful to a wide spectrum of organizations. The Pagetool project has since been taken over by Dave Guerin.
Enhancements:
- Added a link from the first setup page to the README_CGI.txt file for those that might need to do a manual install.
- Added an if !isset for $pt_action in pt_admin.inc. Maybe Pagetool 1.x will run with E_ALL error reporting someday :-)
- The new profile and edit profile admin screens now have valid html, plus a note about changing the colspan values for the header td and footer td thats required if theres no news bar.

Document Library is a Web application for document management in larger organizations with a lot of documents.
Organizations deal with numerous documents, such as word processor documents and PDFs. These documents often reside on someones computer and are not network accessible. Versions of documents are hard to track - the same document may be passed around using email in multiple versions over time. In large organizations it therefore becomes important to structure the flow of documents and present them in a common format. This is typically done using a document management system. Document Library is one such document management system.
Information in the Document Library can be accessed using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), meaning that besides being open source, the Document Library is also a good example of an open data application. Because it is open data, the Document Library is easier to integrate with other applications, such as the Silva CMS or any other application capable of OAI-PMH harvesting.
Main features:
- Automatic conversion service: using OpenOffice, the Document Library can convert Word documents into PDFs and plain text, PDFs into plain text. The plain text version is important in that it allows for full-text indexing of document contents, and also makes documents more accessible to people with disabilities.
- Publication workflow: documents only become available for harvesting and download after a review process.
- Delegation of control: reviewers ("librarians") can be assigned to particular sections.
- Dynamic access: authors have automatic access to all the documents that list them as an author.
- Versions: multiple versions of the same document can coexist, one public and one under preparation.
- Email reminder functionality: users receive emails of the progress of the document through the workflow.
- OAI-PMH data provider: allows other systems to harvest document metadata using standard protocol.
- Integration with Silva CMS (using OAI-PMH).
- Fast upload and download integration with Apache using Tramline.
- Easy overview screens for librarians.
- Smart file upload user interface: files need to be uploaded only once even if rest of form needs to be amended.
- Document Library is built using the powerful Zope 3 application server platform.
Enhancements:
- Installation was made easier by using zc.buildout.
- Optional LDAP support was added.
- Filesystem storage was integrated with Tramline.
- The conversion provided by OooConv was improved.
- Table rendering was improved using zc.table.
- Zope was updated to 3.3.
