As of early 2009 support for OpenProj and communication about development of OpenProj seem to have been suspended.<ref>http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2609833&forum_id=708855</ref> There were actually negative regressions with a few commits to the [[Concurrent Versions System|CVS]], There has been no improvement in the past four years and it is not longer compatible with Microsoft Project.

=== ProjectLibre ===
Recently, theThe original founders of OpenProj started to develop a complementary server for OpenProj in 2012, comparable to Microsoft Project Server for Microsoft Project. During development they realized, that the fact that OpenProj had not been updated anymore by Serena Software during the last four years will become problematic to their goal, so they needed to develop first an significantly updated version of OpenProj. This version was released as a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] called [[ProjectLibre]] in August 2012. The complementary server will be called ''ProjectLibre Server''.<ref>[http://www.projectlibre.org/ ProjectLibre Website]</ref>
