History
Development of Codendi (formerly CodeX) began in 2000 at Xerox Research Centre Europe with the aim of bringing to the enterprise the ideas behind the success of open source projects: centralized implementation of tools and best practices, as well as collaboration between project teams. Initially, Codendi was based on the source code of SourceForge version 2.0 of November 2000.
On September 24 2008, Codendi received one of twelve "Lutèce d'Or" prizes in the category "Best Open Source Project Undertaken By A Big Company". This award was presented to Xerox by the French national open source software federation at the Paris Capitale du Libre 2008 conference.
