Architecture / On the use of activeCollab as the first framework
« on: June 20, 2007, 04:06:38 pm »
I will try to explain my idea of how I think we could use activeCollab as the first (replaceable) framework for OpenGoo.
What is missing from activeCollab to make a competing WebOffice? I think it is good document handling.
Basically, the idea is to insert Google docs management into activeCollab (this is blunt I know, but I have to get it out quickly, sorry)
This is how activeCollab handles documents:
And this is what it should look like (kinda, and without plagiarizing)
Then, the creation links should open - in a new browser window or tab:
Of course, many other formats could be uploaded, but not necessarily editable (let each user handle that, if they can/want).

- New Document: An embedded FCKEditor
- New Spreadsheet: An embedded TrimSpreadsheet
- New Presentetoin: An embedded S5 Editor
