History

UddeIM has been designed beginning in 2005 by Benjamin Zweifel. After releasing uddeIM 0.5b in 2006 he stopped uddeIM support. UddeIM 0.5b offered only some basic communication features. It was running on Mambo 4.5 and Joomla 1.0 and was used by lots of systems. [4]

Stephan Slabihoud picked up uddeIM support in September 2006 and released uddeIM 0.5 (without "beta"). Henceforward lots of features have been added, and uddeIM became the colossus under the PMS for Joomla. One milestone was that uddeIM 1.3 became a native Joomla 1.5 component. [5]
