History
The Cooee project was started by an Australian Open Source group, "Karora" in early 2007. The Karora group branched the source code of the already established framework "Echo 2" with the goal of furthering the development and providing additional avenues for developer support. The project came about at a time when there was growing concern as to the future of the Echo Framework, and the potential lack of ongoing development.
As of September 2009, the development for Cooee (and other Karora projects) seems to have ended, the last news post on the website http://www.karora.org is dated 28 May 2008. Most of the website (bug tracker, forum and Cooee downloads) do not work any longer.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
