Project Introduction
The fundamental idea behind this project is to build something unique and complete, not just focusing on some aspects while others drop, but gathering the best products from every ambit. The aim is to create just one optimum basic Suite, well-adapted for every kind of user, which can also be easily enriched and customized. To extend to the max user's freedom, reaching every need, the project goes even beyond: we present a huge collection of portable applications, that try to consider also the specific and professional interests of some our users; we also publish a rich list of portable games, usually neglected by other similar projects. Finally, we have written this almost-unique documentation to help understanding this theme and how we have developed this Suite. Project History
The project was born in 2005, when I was interested on some programs that "I discover" can works also after I moved them on an other PC. Then I decided to collect them and made of a small package, in order to bring it with me.
After few times applications increased and I decided to search a software to managing them in a small list, while I was searching about portable software on the web.
Between the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 I started to find projects that were about portable software, I published the first test versions of my Suite on some forums and in particular someone adviced me to try WinInizio suites. I stayed on this forum very well, I discussed with other users, I helped less expert and I progressively become an expert of portable software.
Continuing my software collection, I improved it under various points of view, while on WinInizio I continue the collaboration and they proposed me to work for their project. In this period on their forum I also met Salvatore, a user that was starting to develop a completely open source suite of programs.
WinInizio imposed me limitations if I had decided to work with they; so, also because of problems between the administrators of the forum and Salvatore, I prefered to continue my project and to collaborate with the others.
In the summer of the 2006 I studied HTML and CSS and I created a small website with my first official version of Lupo PenSuite, with as logo a wolf that wraps a PenDrive.
The months passed, the project was improved, I started to use PStart as launcher and progressively also the website aspect was improved. I helped various projects similar to mine and that developed portable software, like PortableFreeware, PortableApps and FramaKey.
