Claros Project is an effort to provide open source high quality web applications. Rather than building feature-fat applications, we mainly focus on :

1. Usability, user interface quality.
2. Stability. Software should contain as minimum bugs as possible.
3. And most importantly. we believe software must be " as simple as it should be".

The long wait is over. Claros inTouch 2.0(Stable) is finally ready for the enterprise. There has been many enhancements since the last version (Beta1) and many new modules such as contacts, post-it notes, instant messenger(chat), rss reader has been added to the new Ajax user interface. We are proud to announce this news and hope your support will continue.

Claros inTouch(previously known as Claros Webmail) is the Ajax communication suite for the Claros Project. Claros inTouch 2.0 beta1 is built upon the extended version of version 1.7 but its user interface is completely re-done. It is faster than ever and its 100% Ajax from now on!!!
