OpenGoo 0.7 introduces great new features
In summary:
- Dashboard: OpenGoo is all about integration. Now we have gone a step further in that direction by including a unified Dashboard view of your most important information. You can now visualize your latest messages and documents, late and pending milestones and tasks and your activity for the next two weeks, all in a single view.
- New Interfaces: The tasks and milestones interface was completely redesigned. You can now easily see relationships between tasks, quickly navigate through the task hierarchy, and managing tasks was never easier. You can add, complete, assign or delete tasks without having to leave the main view. The calendar interface was also improved; it has a cleaner and friendlier look.
- Better usability and design: We are constantly looking for ways to improve the usability and visual design of OpenGoo. The user interface for viewing your Content Objects (messages, documents, tasks, milestones, etc.) has been redesigned, becoming not only prettier, but also much more usable. A Workspace Crumbs widget was added, that lets you see at all moments were you are standing in the workspace hierarchy.
- More flexibility: Now it's possible to send emails from OpenGoo, which means you can now use OpenGoo not only to organize and classify your email, but also as your every day mail client. Documents and messages can now reside in more than one workspace, making it easier to share information with other users. This features will be extended to all Content Objects for the next release.
- Stability: Many bugs were reported on OpenGoo.org by the community, and were solved for this release.
Next Steps We are still working on making OpenGoo a more stable product. There are several bugs to fix and things to improve, and there's a long list of new features to add. OpenGoo is currently beta quality software, so you are not advised to use it on a production environment. However, it is usable, and in fact we ourselves are using it internally, but you should use it at your own risk.
Some features planned for the next release are:
- Sharing items between different workspaces for all content objects
- A first approach on reporting
- Even more stability
- Small improvements everywhere
AcknowledgementThis release notes were compiled and so poetically arranged by Acio. If you have the privilege to know Acio personally you wouldn't suspect this artistic nature in his quiet manners. Acio, you don't cease to amaze me!
