# Introduction

## What is phpGroupWare

phpGroupWare is a multi-user web-based suite written in PHP. It contains many applications, including a Calendar, email package, contact database and project manager. It also includes an extensive API for writing new applications.

## About the author

Brandon Neill just wanted to figure out how to use the program and decided to write a manual as an excuse to bug the developers.

## Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the many authors of phpGroupWare and it's applications for creating such a useful and extensible product. I would also like to thank the authors of previous version of the documentation and the authors of the LDP Author guide for teaching me how to use DocBook.

## Notes

This document is based upon the current CVS release, where possible I included notes relating to the current stable release (0.9.12). This is a work in progress, please email any corrections to bneill@yahoo.com.
