Two features request

[nimeshpancholi]

Hi,

Can following two features be incorporated in near future versions?

1) Disk Quota implementation on users. Example, A user can not exceed total disk quota of X amount including File Uploads, New File creation etc. So, that I can set that a ABC user can only store/create up to 1 GB of data and XYZ can store/create 500 MB.

2 ) Compatibility of with Microsoft Office & Open Office.

Thanks for wonderful project.

Hi Nimesh.

What exactly do you mean by FR 2?

FR 1 is interesting. In fact, we have had some discussions about it. Not planned for release yet.

Right, Disk Quota implementation is important for storage management. If we have this kind of control along with User Access Control that would be very helpful.

Compatibility with the OpenOffice is indeed a need.

At present if user uploads the Microsoft Office document to Opengoo, they are neither able to view nor modify in Opengoo. I think it would be a great enhancement of Opengoo feature if compatibility with MS Office and Open Office incorporated. This is what my FR No. 2 is.

Oh. That level of compatibility is very hard. Consider that, with much more resources and time and on a more mature framework (desktop development), OpenOffice still hasn't achieved 100% compatibility with MS Office.

This is not our current focus. We believe that, for editing those formats, the desktop applications are much more suited. OpenGoo provides a way to create and edit simpler -HTML- documents. It is also our belief that these kind of -simpler- documents will be serving more than 90% of user needs in the near future.

We plan on improving online edition too, as soon as we can get our hand on that again.

Also, at this point, we are focusing a lot more on the overall functionality of OpenGoo, making it a solution for not only document management and productivity; but project management, collaboration, and team communications as well.
