Great all-in-one package for Jumper

If you are looking to install Jumper on Windows it can be a challenge getting Apache, PHP and mySQL installed.

A great one stop shop solution for installing Apache, PHP, and MYSQL for Windows is to install XAMPP. You can get it here ApacheFriends.org

A good tutorial on setting up Apache and MySQL on Windows using the XAMPP package is available at Six Revisions .

Any questions, comments, bugs, or challenges please post them in the Jumper 2.0 Developers Group

Jumper 2.0 is open source and open development

The Jumper 2.0 software is open source and open development. We are a growing project that provides the source code under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) but the decisions about how the code got to that state were initially developed by Jumper Networks and a very close knit community.

With the current release of Jumper 2.0.1.1 we are opening the software development to a select community of developers who will have all the requisite rights to edit, modify and redistribute the code as well as participate in future decisions for how or why the code should be further developed and expanded.

With the tremendous growth of the software, approaching over 700 installations at the time of this blog, the team is simply unable to keep up with the growth.

We currently have many users of the software who offer feedback, bug reports and ideas. We are looking for those individuals with the talent to help evolve the software to the next stage. Those who have the necessary skill, can work with the existing community, and who can become true shareholders in the project. If you would like to get more involved in the development process we need your help. We are expanding the project on Sourceforge to take on a limited number of new developers.

If you are a registered Sourceforge user contact the Jumper project administrator.
