I feel this is a very useful feature to allow teams to discuss issues that come up without having to go via email, the communication is then centralized. My vision for this is that its a module that is identical to the notes but called discussions instead, we kinda already use notes for this purpose but a proper module would make things easier.

A scenario is that we work with a remote team in different time zones, If I am working and think of something that needs input from the team then I can start a discussion with my thought (get it out of my head) and they can respond and when I login again I can see their thoughts and leave mine. This keeps the project moving ahead and avoids any stagnation.... sure this can be done in an email but having it in the system with everything else is much better ;)

This is a very good idea. I'm missing a discussion function like this very much.

Think about posting this under "Feature requests".

Hi,

We use a note and comments on that note for this purpose. We create a note and subscribe all users that we want to be involved in the conversation. They receive a notification email and click on the link to post their opinion on the subject. Now you have a conversation recorded in OpenGoo, which you can tag or link to other objects.

What do you think the notes module is missing to satisfy your needs?
: Re: Discussions
: pixelprodigy January 28, 2009, 04:12:33 AM
We are using it the same, I add a note if I want to start a discusssion, however notes and discussions are inherently different but the uses overlap and both are useful. For that fact alone its better to have them separate because then things are properly categorized.

How I see them

Notes: are things I think about that are important to the project and also what I want others to know. Replies here are useful as it allows people to get clarification or even start a discussion (this is where the overlap starts)

Discussion: are things that need clarification and generally important feedback from the team so the project can move forward.

It would be nice to have a discussions tab, just like the notes but the fact that its separate will help keep things where they belong.

Another way of seeing it
I guess that in opengoo, all items are able to have comments added to them so anything can be turned into a discussion. On that premise, maybe its better to have a current discussions tab where it summarizes any items that have a comment on them. This way things that are important that are being discussed are easily accesible.

One really neat feature of an app we tried recently was that it had an inbox where all your system mesages would go, so if there was a reply to a discussion I would see it in my inbox. Yes, this works in my email but again, its important that as much of the work to be done is kept central to the system.

Maybe a workaround for that is using the built in mail function linked to an email account that is only for the notifications and set the system email to this address.

I think this is turning into two topics so I will leave it there, feedback will be great!

Here is the app I am referring to

This is a very similar request.... a forum is a form of dicsussion. Ignacio's suggestion of using notes is good and could work, but would work better under a discussions tab ;)

pixelprodigy, I absolutely agree with you. Notes are notes and discussions are discussions. I always feel it's better to have them separate because then things are properly categorized. A centralized inbox is another good recommendation.

The scenario and the need you present are clear. But the design of the best solution, as you probably noticed (you presented three possible solutions already), may be the harder part to figure out.

Ignacio, Marcos and I had a little discussion about this thread, and we are still not sure of how to address it best.

When this is the situation (and this happens quite (http://forums.opengoo.org/index.php?topic=781.msg3269) frequently (http://forums.opengoo.org/index.php?topic=799.msg3266)) we usually go two ways:
1) We let the feature request rest for a while, until we see it as a priority, and the solution is clear to us.
2) The person or organization that request the feature sponsors its development.

Keep it coming! :)

I just posted to a thread requesting
forums (http://forums.opengoo.org/index.php?topic=796.0).

We can already comment on notes, documents and tasks.  The problem is that the text of the comments can not be modified.  This limits the discussions to fonts whose native font size is readable in the comment box.  Unfortunately for Thai, whose native fontsize is about 1/2 of English, it doesn't appear to work.

If we still need a discussion/forum feature, which one should it be? or should we have both as both have been proposed? Or is this two words for the same thing?
: Re: Discussions
: max April 07, 2009, 04:15:00 PM
Okay, so this is the best place to talk about discussions. I belive that pixelprodigy got it just right and we should elaborate on that a little:

I guess that in opengoo, all items are able to have comments added to them so anything can be turned into a discussion. On that premise, maybe its better to have a current discussions tab where it summarizes any items that have a comment on them. This way things that are important that are being discussed are easily accesible.

This is really a very powerful concept and I believe I haven't seen such an elegant means for discussion in a while. Basically - and functionally - I can imagine that "Discussions" tab as something visually similar to the search results tab, where you already are summarizing results of all the different data types (documents, notes, tasks, contacts) there are.

* I'd like to Group that discussions view by: workspace, date, tag.
* and i'd like to be able to fold the discussion threads so that only the first line of each comment, or the full comments be visible, indented
* and be able to add comments to each thread; and perhaps edit old comments if I am the original author.
* and I second the other users' remarks that text in notes as well as in comments should be stylable just as regular documents are.

(by the way if we could comment on comments, that would allow for the full complexity of a branching forum.)

Now, Conrado, I am quite confident that this would be a pretty good solution indeed?

If you'd like me to render up a screenshot of how that would look like, I might find the time for it.

Another feature for my sponsorships list, perhaps.

I have played extensively with at least 60 SAAS and self hosted PM/Collab solutions in the last two years. On top of general PM tools, I've used Rally and Mingle for agile development, Jira and FogBugz for issue tracking, SugarCRM and vTiger for CRM. I've done feature comparison matrices, even written apps to compare real time calculations of page rank, alexa rank, etc. You could say I'm a little obsessed with tools like this.

Then I found OpenGoo, and I'm blown away. You guys have done a fantastic job. Sure there are more comprehensive (and slick) solutions for money, but to get this kind of quality in an open source free project (in this category) is amazing. There are many things that set OpenGoo apart, but the primary one for me is that it's highly usable. It's lightning quick. It doesn't overwhelm me with stuff I don't need (but I can quickly expand my options). I'm never lost or confused. And, I can get to almost everything in the entire system in three clicks. Amazing.

I'm posting in this thread because the one thing I would ask is to make the community/collaboration within OG more flexible and rich.

Comments, Descriptions, and Notes should have at least bold, underline and bullets (and remember carriage returns). For instance, I would love to create quick agendas for new events in the descriptions box, but it's currently unusable, as OG does not even save my carriage returns in 2.4RC (when creating a new event).

Another example is when I upload a flowchart or image, I often solicit feedback in the comments. I have a hell of a time sorting though paragraphs, dashes, lines made of equals, asterisks for bullets, etc. that are screaming to be clean unordered or ordered lists with some kind of bold or underlined organization.

To me, notes are very similar to discussions; the original note pretty much being the title of the discussion that will follow in comments. And, with the super flexible folder organization of OG, you can choose exactly where this discussion will take place. But again, I have the same complaint... bold, underline, and bullets. Judging by this thread, perhaps a name change for 'notes' is in order as well.

Of course I would love to be able to insert inline tables, images, video, etc. but I feel like the stuff I've outlined above would make a huge difference for the amount of development time it would take to implement.

Thanks for a great product and please keep doing what your doing.

I have been following this thread for a while, but haven't commented yet because I wanted to use Notes more thoroughly in a discussion capacity.  I have to agree with the other posters, in the absence of a true discussion forum, Notes is the current alternative, and as such should at the very least support formatting.

Well... building good products and services takes money (or time... which is money). In OpenGoo's case it has taken a lot of both! And it continues to do. Luckily, OpenGoo development and evolution is healthily supported by the services Feng Office provides, and the time and brainpower that the community puts into the project. But we just can't get enough of it (Enough of OpenGoo evolution that is...  ::) )

You want to be the slickest eh? I hate to say it, but the rounded thing comes to mind ;) I'll stop at the risk of being stoned.

I'm not exactly sure how to convince you that simple formatting (in notes, descriptions, comments, etc.) would be a huge plus, but I'll try...

In my experience, very simple formatting (bold, underline, bullets, etc.) almost always improves usability because if people have space to write in, they inevitably try to organize their thoughts. If there are no standard tools, they do this with caps, dashes, stars, equals, etc..

i.e.

Benefits
=======

* Clear Communication
* Standardized
* Consistent
* Usable

This may look like a good way to organize text, the problem is... it's not consistent from user to user. And, no formatting lends itself to paragraphs of text that are more difficult to get through.

As far as dev time... Can't you simply modify the current WYSIWYG editor to only include a few tools, and drop it in these areas :)

Thanks for listening...

I understand and agree with those arguments. In fact, I would probably use some formatting myself (you would notice that from my use of this forum).

But -good- development cost is usually underestimated.

Adding the editor would increase page time-load and make it more complex. So in some instances it would be good to not have the option. Then it should be configurable... and thus add to coding complexity.

In summary: I am absolutely in favor of this improvement. It simply isn't on our current top-priorities right now.

Understood, thanks for the reply!

I was actually wondering  if I could probe your structure a bit, so feel free to tell me it's none of my business, create a new thread, or direct me to where my questions are already answered.

As far as your priorities.... is that mainly decided by fengoffice.com and its customers? Is there a hard development time line (i.e. features, dates, deadlines, etc.), internal bug tracker, etc.?

What role does fengoffice.com vs. the community play in sculpting the future of OpenGoo? I mean, I understand they pay for development, so do they have full control over what developers are working on?

Thanks,
Thomas
: Re: Discussions
: conrado May 21, 2009, 03:41:20 PM
Good questions.

There are currently 9 developers working full time at OpenGoo. All of them are now Feng Office employees (or partners). So yes, Feng Office has a big say on what features get added.

There are many community members that contribute in many ways.

Community members external to Feng Office:

We should do a better work on publicly recognizing everyone's contributions (That of community members, and that of the amazing people that compose the Feng Office team), but we are focusing 90% on development (We are now doing some efforts on the business side too  ;) )

We have a development time line. But it changes daily. This is because of many reasons. The first one is because we listen constantly to the needs of customers, the community, and our own.

Finally, unless it is discarded (or, more accurately, postponed) for quality reasons, or by time constraints, we do include all contributions that we receive.

The argument about page load and such is a big one for me regarding Notes vs Discussions.

If/When this moves forward, please make discussions a separate module from notes. For those of us that may not want/need the extra features, we may not want to sacrifice the speed of execution.

: Jon July 21, 2009, 11:47:41 AM
Hi to everyone  :)

Having spent the last four years managing a large forum community comprising some 30 moderators, 30+ sponsors, a handful of admins, many group leaders, and thousands of members, the past 3 months with Open Goo have been somewhat of an eye opener.

The basic essentials are very solid in comparison to the majority of what is available otherwise, although I have to agree with the opinions expressed in this thread in that Discussions requires a greater level of functionality and formatting options. Formatting is the main concern for me, and like Thomas I have installed a good many options, and presently am trialling Open Atrium in my search for the ultimate web based collaboration suite.

Like so many of the users I have read along the way, via similar discourses, I am not a developer/coder/tech expert. The common denominator in these discussions is the wish for a straight forward way to input images, video, music files, and productive formatting, on the part of everyday users. Whether it be in a forum environment or concerning workplace collaborations. As has been suggested, a discussion is entirely different to note making, and comes into its own whilst facilitating brainstorming sessions - the heart of group collaboration?

Be it FOSS, Freemium, or paid for ware, of the options I have encountered there is none that hits the mark in my view, and it seems to me that poll position is still very much still up for grabs? If my interpretation is correct then OG/Feng are working to some iteration of the Freemium model, and it occurs to me that many following this model are missing the best of the opportunity?

Free users tend to be smaller concerns which have a limited budget to work with initially, however a healthy proportion of them grow to be among the Fortune 5,000,000; the staple businesses on the Web. These comprise the principal pool of available customers, day-by-day, the majority of whom are merely regular users of technology, and which are happy to pay a fair price for a good service as is regularly required. Therefore is it not good business sense to consider input from your free user base as seriously as that of paying customers, from the start? Surely a good slice of these will grow to be paying clients of the future?

Returning to potential features and formatting for the Discussions module. Whilst I have been unable to find a clear explanation of the distinctions between OG and Feng Office, I would suggest that developing the ideas discussed here would likely be of significant advantage to both? Open Goo is possibly the most bug free and stable collaboration tool available currently, and were it to expand the present forum-esque discussions element I believe it would surpass most of the competition.

Personally I prefer the option of a full wysiwyg (BBcode) editor, coupled with a quick reply box, as per the better forum CMS available currently. The latter sits just as for the existing discussion comments, below the last post/comment, with an 'add reply' button or similar by which to activate the full editor. Ideally beyond the regular formatting options this would also include;

1)   Facility to quote text from prior comments.
2)   Preview post/comment function.
3)   'Save as draft' facility.
4)   When using the editor page reloads should not result in the loss of input.

Suggested additional functionality;

1)   Comment ordering; ascending/descending.
2)   Admin-side facility to split a discussion, for example; move one comment from an existing discussion to begin a new topic on the basis that the content warrants it's own focus.
3)   Social media connectivity.

These are just my ideas and suggestions, and are merely intended to provide some further food for thought in this area?  

All the best,

Jon

Hi Jon. Thanks for the feedback.

This has been a very thoughtful thread.

Feng Office and OpenGoo
To clarify: Feng Office is a company founded by the same founders of the OpenGoo project. It is the company that develops OpenGoo, and it offers professional services for supporting implementation, hosting and customizing OpenGoo.

Since having two names has sometimes added confusion, OpenGoo might also be rebranded as Feng Office in the future, though this is currently just in "idea" stage.

Improving notes and discussions
I am not against more formatting options on comments (or discussions, if such a module would evolve from the current "notes" module).

It is just a matter of analyzing all angles before getting hands on it.

It is also a matter of finite resources, and a complex and ever-changing roadmap (changing everyday!).

Other thoughts
Thanks for the compliments!  :D

Also, rest assured that we consider the input and thoughts from every community member. The roadmap might be influenced more by paying users, as we have to prioritize what will keep and protect the project's grow, but we put a lot of time on every new release to include ideas and suggestions gathered at this forum.

I try to read every post on the forum but, with the fast growth of the community, it gets harder and harder to reply to all, and much less so, to be fast on implementing every good idea (which, fortunately, abound in our community).

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. Keep them coming!  ;D

Sorry, no time to read all ideas about discussion module. So, I'll tell only idea, without comments to other ideas.

You understand that notes entities very similar to documents and it is very easy to combine it together? For example, create a tag "notes" with default DB configuration, which users can use for "real notes" in docs.

If so, You can combine notes with documents and fill empty (from notes) space with new entity (discussion/forum/Logging Chat).

Hi, "Listening to the community" is not that simple. Some want us to stabilize the product, some want more features among whom some want feature X, some feature Y and some feature Z. We would love to do all of that at the same time but it is impossible.

Doing a good plugin system could be a solution, but it's in itself a ver big task that includes writing documentation and such so it would take a long time. I mean there already is some work done in allowing to extend Feng through plugins, but of course only few people know how to use it because there's very little documentation, and also it isn't a simple system nor a complete one.
: Re: Discussions

Hi Ignacio,

you are right. It's not easy to listen to the community because of the very different needs.

Right now I don't really know the future direction of "OpenGoo" which now is "Feng Office".

For me there are three different categories:

1. A collaboration and project management platform (like Basecamp, PHProjekt etc.)

2. A CRM system (like vtiger)

3. An online office solution (like Google Docs)

What is Feng Office going to be? One of the three or an all-in-one solution?

Cheers

Karl

Different user: different use.
I agree that's a nightmare to satisfy us all.
That's when (I believe) one needs to give them the tools to take care of themselves.

Even a major money maker as salesforce.com had to bow to the power of the community to be able to expand its features.

I honestly see a great potential in FO, but it needs to speed-up development not to be left behind; and IMHO that can only be done with the help of the community.

See the example of the Gantt Charts:
Years of request and you would (could) not deliver, but the community (well not really, just one member of it) got it to a point that I hope you can take it to the core now.

But there are not many members as capable as Allen, so you may have to lower the bar and allow for more contributors to help.

As far as the core and which direction to take.. I made an attempt to get us to tell you how we use it, I hope it get you some good data.

... just with the hope of helping.

@Karl: In the short term, and in terms of features, you are probably going to see more of 1 and 2.

Not "all-in-one-for-everyone" but "all-in-one-for-some" and "a-bunch-in-one-for-many". Hope that explains it.  :)

We are not currently focusing on "Productivity" features, like document edition, but a lot more on the "Management" features.

@WiZaxx: Your positive feedback and criticism is very valuable. Please keep it coming!

@Rambling:
"CRM" features being thought out are not quite similar to today's most popular CRM software packages. I find this section at Wikipedia's CRM definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management#Types.2Fvariations) very good in explaining the different tasks that CRM deals with.

I see Feng Office a good fit for Marketing departments (ie: planning a Marketing campaign), Customer Service and Support (Not for every company, but for many), Collaboration (obviously), and Small Business with the do-it-all managers/owners.

Feng Office is -still, and probably for some good time- not the appropriate tool for complex analytics, nor sales force automation (though we know of a few cases that find it good enough for these tasks).

OK, fine. From my point of view then it should be completed at least with some of the (in my opinion) primary features of a collaboration & project management tool:

I was one of the people who asked for a CRM capability months ago but then I went to vtiger just for the CRM. In my opinion the primary goal should be polishing the features of the primary function which is collaboration and then going to improve secondary features.

This discussion went to quite different topic. I would liek to get it right at the begining.

Well, I am just starting to implement Feng Office. Comments on objects is functionality we recognized as very useful and we planned to base our collaboration using it.

Now, I found out that actually there is no option to see what are the latest comments, so we cannot track actual discussions we have within application.

We are relly not demanding, we do not need formatting, nesting or other fancy feature. All we need is ability to enter comments on objects and option to get those comments listed so we can track actual discussions - basically, we need to se at least  what are new comments since last login.

This is basic. Can yo provide such option? If not, can you provide any help to someone else willing to try to make such option? There is no usable API documentation one can use, so if you do not want to do it, you should at least teach us how to do it on our own.

It is surprising that request for such basic and essential option are still not satisfied.
