The Kaifu Student Network was launched in 2004 by Dr. Kaifu Lee, The global vice-president of Google Inc. and the president of Google Greater China, he is a legend in the field of information technology and widely respected in Chinese academic circles.
The 5xue is now directed by Dr. Lee and a few other technical and respected educational experts, including the former president of Intel Greater China as well as a top expert in training English.
In 2004 the Kaifulee.com website was written by Dr. Lee using frontpage and then it was migrated to an ASP powered forum in 2005 by Dr. Zheng, who is now the R&D director of a top Chinese IT corporation.
In August 2006 D.J., known as phppp from the Xoops Content Management System, joined the web management team, first as a technical advisor then as the Technical Director on a voluntary base.
The first version of Xoops powered Kaifulee.com was launched in September 2006 by D.J. and his voluntary Chinese Xoops team.
Then in January 2007 D.J. went back to Beijing where he co-organized the international open source conference. From January to April, he built and led a voluntary team for Kaifulee.com's second upgrade.
Most of the technical volunteers were from the Xoops Chinese community.
The newer version of Kaifulee.com was launched in May 2007, with a couple of newly developed components, including a sophisticated user profile module, a flexible user credit module and a thoroughly integrated popular forum called Discuz with an improved theme engine.
The multi-user version of XPress was also improved during the development, which is the WordPress module for Xoops.
There are now more then 40 top professionals from varied fields and hundreds of volunteers, offering advice and help to young people and university students through this website.
