Former Project Members:

Jon Roig - Jon was the founder of the open-realty project. He has since moved on to other projects and we wish him the best with what he is doing. We hope Jon returns to open-realty some day; his ideas are what started this great project.

Lloyd "RealtyOne" - Lloyd or RO as we have come to call him, has written a large number of open-source add-ons for open-realty and has been a active member on the support forums. Unfortunately, he has had to focus his time on other things in his life, and has not been able to be as active with the project as we all wish he was.

Mike "LTP" - Mike is a fanatic when it comes to code structure and xhtml specifications. He keeps the rest of us well aware of our mistakes and has contributed thankless hours of testing and coding to the development of 2.0.

Third Party Applications:

The following applications are used by openrealty.

ADODBLite - ADOdbLite is a database abstraction library for PHP. ADOdLiteb currently supports an amazing number of databases, thanks to the wonderful ADOdbLite community: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Firebird, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL, Foxpro, Access, ADO, Sybase, FrontBase, DB2, SAP DB, SQLite, Netezza, LDAP, and generic ODBC, ODBTP.

Xinha - Xinha (pronounced like the Warrior Princess) stands for "Xinha is not htmlarea". It began as a stop-gap fork of the InteractiveTools.ComhtmlAreanWYSIWYG editor, but due to popular demand it has spawned into Xinha, a generally better version of htmlArea version 3, with a much cooler name.

FCKEditor - This HTML text editor brings to the web many of the powerful functionalities of desktop editors like MS Word. It's lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer
