## Origins

Poweradmin was started around 2002 by **Roeland Nieuwenhuis** and the PowerAdmin Team, with the project site at poweradmin.sjeemz.nl; the poweradmin.org domain was also registered in 2002. The 1.x releases were developed in CVS; the change log carried into today's repository runs from October 2002 to the 1.2.4 work in May 2003, and the code targeted PHP 4 and PowerDNS 2.x.
Poweradmin was started in 2002 by **Roeland Nieuwenhuis** and the PowerAdmin Team, and the poweradmin.org domain was registered the same year. PowerAdmin 1.0 was released on 23 October 2002, followed by 1.1 in December, 1.2 with full support for the gmysql backend on 30 December 2002, and a run of bug-fix releases up to 1.2.7 on 14 May 2003. The code was hosted on SourceForge with CVS, targeted PHP 4 and PowerDNS 2.x, and was released under the Qt Public License (QPL). It was already used in production: ISP-Services managed more than 16,000 domains with it. The [project website from 2004](https://web.archive.org/web/20040828180319/http://poweradmin.org/) is preserved in the Internet Archive.

In April 2007 **Rejo Zenger** imported the 1.2.7 code into Subversion, which is where the history in today's repository begins. The 1.3 and 1.4 work followed that year and the 2.0.0 release in 2008. For many years the project website at poweradmin.org, the Trac issue tracker, the Subversion repository and the mailing lists were hosted by him.
