Feature requests / channel-specific mail inbox

« on: January 30, 2009, 05:18:00 pm »

Considering some projects get a lot of feedback.

It might be usefull to have a mailbox which you can assign to a workspace so everyone can read and reply.
(something in the form of tickets if you will, excellent way to collect customer feedback).

Feature requests / Sticky Notes! (a true must for any project)

« on: January 30, 2009, 04:51:03 pm »

Opengoo carries an impressive amount of features.
The one thing I have been missing is the ability to have some static information available about the concerning project.

Real example:
Say we have a development workspace for a piece of software.
New developers do have a few things to learn about certain rules we uphold within this projects concerning client communication and programming conventions.

Currently there is no way to statify this in a big project (where many files and notes clutter the workspace).

What I suggest is the ability to make a note "stick" on top of all the other notes.
for example a note that says "Read First: Project Rules"!
(thus applying a sticky property to the note, so it appears on top of the note overview, above all non-stickied notes)

These sticky notes should also have priority position within the overview tab.

I feel this will greatly benefit the groupware concept.
Perhaps people could share similar scenarios where they would benefit from such a feature.

Feng Office 1 / Custom properties on links

« on: January 27, 2009, 04:32:15 pm »

I have noticed that custom properties on weblinks do save but don't load on the latest 1.2beta.

(Using Internet Explorer 7)
It displays a JS error upon loading:

Code: [Select]

Statement on line 3: Type mismatch (usually non-object value supplied where object required)
Backtrace: Line 3 of eval script var count = parent.getElementsByTagName("tr").length - 1;
Line 41 of eval script og.addCustomProperty(parent, "user", "info+sagramore.com");
og.addCustomProperty(parent, "pass", "xxxxxx"); ...
Line 684 of linked script http://xxx.xxxx.nl/public/assets/javascript/og/og.js window.eval(match[2]); ...
Line 10 of linked script http://xxx.xxx.nl/public/assets/javascript/extjs/adapter/ext/ext-base.js
function(){if(this.locked){return false}
this.locked=true;var R=!F;if(!R){R=(I>0)}var Q=[];for(var M=0,L=H.length;MClick to remove

Also,
I may add,
an option to easily access/view these custom properites is missing.
I use them to store login information to certain sites, there seems no other way to view them then to edit them.

Feature requests / Software Development

I'll start off by saying that i'm pretty impressed with this piece of software.
It works well and has clean feel to it (unlike most opensource software I run into).

I have not yet installed it myself but have been intensively using the demo.
I personally feel your strongest advantage is the fact that all of your features have been well thought out to allow it to be used for any general purpose (not leaning strongly towards a single purpose of use).
You should definitly should keep that up.
I hope to not ever see this software being bloated with features that serve only a very specific usage scenarios (unless they're modulair).


Now for example I plan to use opengoo for developing software.
I have run into a few things on the demo which I feel could make it easier in general.

-Folder/Category support in the documents tab (i'm aware tags can be used to achieve categorisation, however I can not sort according to them.)
-"My overview" page, where a user can actually see tasks that have been appointed to him for that day.
-Task email notifications

Other then that I think this piece of software can serve all my needs.

Keep up the good work,
You currently risk getting a donation from me in the near future.

Ps. seems that the "new task" button sometimes breaks on the demo version
