Ideas / Web Database
« on: December 15, 2008, 05:32:08 am »
Hi !

In future versions of OpenGoo, we might want to consider a Database program from a completeness of stack perspective. And one easy and quick way to achieve that might be to use TaffyDB (http://www.taffydb.com/). Taffy DB is a free and opensource JavaScript library that acts as thin data layer inside Web 2.0 and Ajax applications. So using Taffy DB and an AJAX Table interface, we can get a quick equivalent of DabbleDB (http://www.dabbledb.com/) and other such solutions.

Cheers

Ideas / TiddlyWiki for Collaboration
« on: December 04, 2008, 06:02:59 am »
Not sure if the readers of this forum have seen TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/). This is a brilliant SINGLE file Wiki that works both online and offline (developed in pure Javascript). It has all the features of a Wiki such as editing, saving, tagging and searching) and is simply super for collaboration. There are numerous plugins, extensions to the base version that  improve on the core functionality. We should consider having TiddlyWiki inside OpenGoo as it would increase the collaboration functionality many fold.

Ideas / RIA Interface for future versions of OpenGoo?
« on: November 27, 2008, 09:37:10 am »
The current version of OpenGoo looks great, but we can potentially consider having a RIA (Flash / Silverlight) front-end in subsequent versions. Alternatively that could become a sub-project within OpenGoo.

I came across this company in Belgium (Netikatech - http://www.netikatech.com/) that has a brilliant tool for generating Flash and Silverlight code. Check their demos at http://community.netikatech.com/demos/

and particularly look at their Outlook equivalent at:- http://community.netikatech.com/demos/flash/calendar/

Simply brilliant user experience.....

Check out this amazing AJAX Spreadsheet (Open Source) at http://www.zkoss.org/product/zkspreadsheet.dsp

This is part of the ZKOss Javascript library...

Kudos to the entire OpenGoo team for the great work and giving the world a first-class OSS Web Office suite.

Hmm, we can use Ajaxio (http://jameslab.moveable.com/ajaxio/) as a starting point. It is pure AJAX and works well. Currently Ajaxio only suports boxes, but we can look at including stencils for other popular diagram types (Flowcharts, UML, etc).

Folks,

I know this might disappoint a lot of people but I seriously feel that we need to have a spreadsheet component before OpenGoo 1.0 release. Even if it means that we will probably have something like TrimSpreadsheet or OpenRecord we should still include that for the sake of completeness. For a lot of people, Spreadsheets are the very reason they use an Office productivity suite and not having that in the first release might reduce the impression of OpenGoo.

Ideas / Re: Unique URL for every document

Check out DAVClient (A Javascript based implementation of WebDAV). We can use this to provide a WebDAV interface to OpenGoo documents.
Link: http://johnnydebris.net/projects/davclient.js/doc/README.html

Hope this helps.

Hi Conrado,

I agree that a diagram tool is way more important than a "Painting" tool. I came across a couple of AJAX based diagramming tools. Check it out:-

Ideas / Unique URL for every document
« on: September 29, 2008, 04:33:41 am »
I feel that a functionality to address every document (or spreadsheet or presentation) by an unique URL could be really useful. That way, I can email links to any file or even embed that inside my blog. Zoho has this feature as well. So it is similar to a YouTube video that has a unique URL.

What say?

Ideas / Offline Usage
« on: September 26, 2008, 06:51:04 am »
Many users will want offline capability and we should plan for that. While we could always consider using Google Gears or any other frameworks, a simpler (and easier) way to accomplish this could be to use Nanoweb (http://nanoweb.si.kz/). Nanoweb is a tiny web server written in PHP. So we simple create a bundle of PHP, Nanoweb and OpenGoo (and maybe SQLite) and a users can run this entire system on the desktop. What say?

Ideas / Drawing & Visualization Tool
« on: September 24, 2008, 11:02:37 pm »
From a completeness of stack perspective, OpenGoo should consider an equivalent of Microsoft Visio. Such a tool will allow users to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information "visually". Check this article for a list of free online drawing tools:-

http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/graphicsblog/2008/05/16/online-drawing-tools-free-online-painting-sketching-tools/

There are also very high end Open Source drawing solutions such as Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/). But Inkscape is perhaps way too high-end and more suited for graphics designers rather than casual office users who need an simpler drawing and flowcharting tool. Gliffy (http://www.gliffy.com/) is a great example of such a web based solution. If other members have come across any Open Source equivalent (or AJAX drawing component) that we can easily integrate into OpenGoo, please lets discuss.

Also check out ZuiPrezi (http://test.zuiprezi.com/). ZuiPrezi is a zooming presentation editor which allows you to easily create stunning presentations. It allows users to create dynamic and visually structured zooming maps of texts, images, videos, PDFs, drawings.

My point is that the game is changing and there is no sense in making yet another Power Point clone any more.
