[edit] Collabtive

Collabtive (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I nominated this for speedy but it was declined as it "asserts notability", though such assertion is not apparent to me. Anyway, it's non-notable per WP:N, just-released, web-based application, no RS. ukexpat (talk) 12:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Per above, although I disagree that age of a company would help to make a decision. Gary King (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey - There's a giant open source revolution going on and pages like this are EXTREMELY helpful to understanding who the different players are and where they fit into this changing world. Please don't delete pages like these! Business students, and people researching different open source projects, find these kinds of listings extremely useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.20.98 (talk) 11:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Keep - I still think the article should not be deleted. Because:

  • The article is about a notable Open Source Collaborative Software Program
  • It is one of very few Open Source Programs in its category
  • Other programs of the same category seem to fit with your guidelines (For example: ProjectPier)
  • Collabtive is mentioned / covered in notable IT Publications such as CIO world news , Computerworld , the linux magazine (may 2008 issue) , and others as well.

-> There's also a lot of international Blog coverage like http://jack.xtremdesign.net/blog/?p=130 , http://www.evilmile.de/news-5 , http://www.moongift.jp/2008/02/collabtive/, http://www.workshop.ch/openmind/2008/03/29/collabtive-einfaches-projektmanagement-tool-im-web-20-stil/ , http://www.genbeta.com/2008/01/24-collabtive-sistema-de-gestion-de-proyectos-para-instalar-en-nuestro-propio-servidor-web , http://blog.fairytree.fr/index.php/sortie-de-collabtive-035/ (much more can be found on google)

  • Collabtive is accepted by known and established Open Source directories such as Sourceforge , Freshmeat or Framasoft. The software directories excercise editorial control over accepted projects.
  • Doing a Google search for the term "Collabtive" will return more than 25000 results. Almost all of them relate to the project.

-> To clarify:

  • Collabtive is NOT created by a company, but by individuals. Collabtive is developed as a community Software. The software is provided free of charge. You can verify this by clicking the "Imprint" link on the project page footer (http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/imprint.php)
