    3 The MacPorts project was originally started in 2002 by several people at Apple, including [wiki:landonf Landon Fuller], [wiki:kvv Kevin Van Vechten], and [wiki:jkh Jordan Hubbard], under the name "!DarwinPorts." The goal was to make it easier for users to install 3rd-party UNIX software on Apple's then-new Mac OS X operating system and its open-source core, Darwin; the name was chosen as a combination of "Darwin" with "Ports" -- the name of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Ports FreeBSD package management system] which inspired !DarwinPorts' development and which Jordan Hubbard had years earlier been instrumental in creating.

    55!DarwinPorts began as part of Apple's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDarwin OpenDarwin] effort, which was set up to provide an interface between Apple's developers and the open-source community. The !DarwinPorts web site was initially located at darwinports.opendarwin.org. In 2003 the project acquired its own domain, darwinports.org; both darwinports.opendarwin.org and www.darwinports.org continued to be used interchangeably for several years.
