History
OpenProject has been developed since 2010 along with its ancestor project ChiliProject.{{cite web|url=https://chiliproject.org/boards/1/topics/2247|title=ChiliProject - The difference between Chiliproject and OpenProject.org - ChiliProject|website=chiliproject.org|access-date=20 August 2017}} The initial motivation for this fork was the OPF founding members' performance, security, and accessibility requirements, which could not be easily reached by plugins for either Redmine or ChiliProject.
