PMS Component for Joomla
UddeIM allows users of a community to send private messages to each other. UddeIM is an easy-to-use PMS for
Joomla! and offers all the features needed in a private messaging system.

(CBE), Joomlaboard, Fireboard [3] , Kunena, Agora and JomSocial. It is a base component to build Community Sites
which allows members to exchange private messages. Several other components integrate uddeIM, e.g. SOBI2,
JPromoter, sh404SEF, Joomsef, VirtueMart and many others.
UddeIM runs on Joomla 1.0, J!1.5 native, J!1.5 legacy, and J!1.6alpha (in development).

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. [5]
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. [6]
The current version runs on Mambo, Joomla 1.0, Joomla 1.5 legacy, Joomla 1.5 native, and Joomla 1.6alpha.
