History
web2project started as a fork of dotProject in late 2007.[3]
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.[4]
