About SimpleDesk
SimpleDesk History
SimpleDesk traces its roots back to the end of 2009 when a group of Customizers from the SMF Team agreed to collaborate on a mod for SMF. It was only one of a few initial ideas, but it proved to be the most useful of that group. With numerous requests for helpdesk mods from the SMF Community and simplemachines.org's own need for better helpdesk software, the development of SimpleDesk would benefit a large number of people. Thus, SimpleDesk was born with a strong mission and clear objectives.
