Orodha is a fork of Open-Realty® 2.5.8. Orodha, launched on Jun 26, 2010, is currently being constructed by various volunteers from around the globe. We are currently working on this project 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, collectively as a team with development team members in Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, and the USA. Orodha 1.0 will be in the Download area after many changes are complete. 2.5.8 is currently in our SVN where we are working hard on many modifications to make it a leaner and better product than ever before. Would you like to see our round the clock updates as they happen? Please follow us on Twitter and watch the specific SVN actions happen as we make the changes, or check out each update as they happen on RSS HERE.
Have a feature request? Tell us what it is HERE and we'll see about getting it added to Orodha as soon as we can. Get your requests in fast because we have several in the queue at the moment.
Please keep checking back as we hope to have a newest modified release very soon - always free and open source. Thank you for visiting, and we hope you become a part of this growing community. This will be the friendly Open Source community for listing software.
-- Orodha: Swahili for "List"
Orodha 1.0 (hear it HERE) is a stand alone Open Source Listing Manager package, and is a fork of Open-Realty® 2.5.8. It is all you will need for a professional listings web site out of the box. For additional functionality, you could use a variety of free or commercial addons. For more sophisticated sites you could use Orodha in conjunction with CMS's such as Joomla 1.5, or Wordpress. To use Orodha with Joomla, for example, you would need to install CMS Realty found in the Joomla JED. There is complete community support for using Orodha with Joomla (using CMS Realty) or Wordpress in our Support Forum. If creating a real estate web site, there are also addons for RETS and IDX.
Take a peak at some different sites created with Orodha. You can create sites to market a list of Services, Holiday Rentals, Real Estate Listings, Cars, Clothing Lines, Cakes- the possibilities are endless.
What better way to demo Orodha than to visit a production site? Go ahead and give it a spin:
