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

Of course, many other formats could be uploaded, but not necessarily editable (let each user handle that, if they can/want).

Applications / On the Wiki Engine
« on: June 11, 2007, 01:50:21 pm »
One of the toughest decisions is what Wiki engine should we begin with.

There are many excellent alternatives. Any choice will mean the sacrifice of the exclusive features the others might have.

After some discussion we came to realize that one very important feature for the selected wiki engine should be the existence of a plugins API or, better yet, known extensions.

Yed suggested that we build both the spreadsheets and the presentation apps over the wiki engine. It is an interesting idea, but one that makes this choice very hard.

What are your thoughts on the subject, and which are your candidates?

This are the open source on-line spreadsheets I found:


Have you found any other?

Which one's the best?

Components / UI templates management
« on: May 29, 2007, 01:30:48 pm »
One of the desired features is a Web template engine.

The goal of the feature is to design a template for your web site. That is, define
header, footer, color, fonts, (general css style), and then, converters would be developed to integrate the style to each component application of the suite.

In a second milestone, a visual editor (web based, obviously) would be desired.

For instance, you would define a web site template using an on-line app (Weebly.com would be a good example) and then, you would have automatically generated templates for the Wordpress blog, the SMF forum, the joomla CMS, etc.
