Of course one of the most interesting questions for the users is: what can be expected from PHProjekt 6?
Beside the technical aspects which will be treated later, here are some hints which will be different from the current edition:

• PHProjekt will focus more on project management
  
• Due to the dojo-client, the usage of the frontend will be fun
  
• Key features like the filter system or the contextmenu handling will be kept in the new version
  
• Addons and modules will be treated in the same way - and the management of new modules will be done very easily
  
• New web2.0 features like tagging, live Search and Ajax will be introduced
  
• In the first version we will skip comunity modules like the votes, chat or forum
  
• The group system will be expanded - each project can manage several members with different roles
  

After seven years of PHProjekt, we are proud to announce a complete new version of this Open Source software.
PHProjekt is still pretty popular, but the source code is outdated and maintenance gets more timeconsuming with each update.

So the core development team decided to rewrite the application and to build a new software.
Don't worry: It's still LAMP! But we take the chance and turn to state-of-the-art programming with test-driven development,
modern PHP 5 object oriented coding style and the strategic usage of frameworks like the Zend Framework and the Dojo javascript toolkit.
