General Discussion / Alpha 0.4 released
« on: December 13, 2007, 09:34:52 pm »
OpenGoo Alpha 0.4 has been released!
 
New to this release is the inclusion of the new slideshow editor, Slimey.

Slimey is an open source, web based, slideshow editor, child of the OpenGoo project. This first version includes basic slideshow editing functionality but shows a promising future and has many great features planned
in its roadmap.

Currently Fiefox 2, IE 7 and Safari 3 are all fully supported and it works correctly on Opera 9. We realize it has bugs and issues, and welcome all of your feedback.
 
Other improvements to this version include fixing of the bug that didn't
allow you to change the active project, together with some other small bug fixes.
 
For the next version we will focus on bug fixing and a lot of work under the hood.
 
If you would like to help OpenGoo become a fully featured Web Office, please
contact us to join the project. Even if you have no programming
knowledge you can contribute by reporting bugs or giving your opinion at our
forums. If you are a developer, graphic designer, or feel like you can contribute and would like to help, please contact us here at the forum, or by mail at contact@opengoo.org

Thank you for trying OpenGoo!

Absolutely. We already have a "secret" demo in place...

 :P

Seriously; we are working on it, but we have some issues with our hosting configuration (A virtual server - by Plesk) which blocks the storing of files. It is an elusive bug inherited from ActiveCollab. As soon as we fix that, we will set up the demo, which I'm sure will impress!

Actually, the "messages" feature works pretty much that way. What suggestions would you make to improve that feature to reach the functionality you imagine?

Maybe it's just a nomenclature issue.

Thank you stenyak.

Version 0.3 is planned to be released the first week of November. We will put up a demo and screenshots with it. It will look much prettier than the current release!  ;)

Hello dedisoft.

MSDE support is not currently a priority. It shouldn't be hard. But we are more focused on new functionality than extending the DB framework.

What prevents, in your case, from installing a MySQL engine alongside MSDE?

General Discussion / Re: Why not Subversion on sourceforge?

Hi moho.

Do you mean using Subversion instead of CVS? We do use CVS on sourceforge.

You are right Grooviak.

BTW, I left a reply on your related comment at the blog.

Feature requests / Off-line work

The most common argument against the Web Office is the "What if I don't have an Internet connection?" question.

While it is true that Internet connection reliability improves by the week, there will always be a case for lost connection for many years to come.

We also know that something will come up in the next few years (months?) that will allow this to be done very easily. But we don't know what or when, right? - At least I am not too convinced by Google Gears yet.

So my questions are:
    When should OpenGoo start addressing this issue?
    How are we going to address this issue?

Zoho is both using Google Gears and working on a MS-Office plugin - Thanks to Marcos "El Cabeza" for the last link).
- Hey, this guys don't cease to impress me!

Zimbra and Think free are doing something about it too.

Any ideas?

Marcos,

I absolutely agree with the observations jskates makes on that post:

Quote
1. A common timeline/schedule/calendar to show milestones and tasks
2. A common place to share files
3. A published system of record for decisions and assumptions
4. A list of “tracking items” that include issues, risks, etc…
5. A contact list of everyone involved in the project

As you know, we are in contact with the PP team, but I am not sure it was formally written in this forum: I think we should consider using PP instead of ActiveCollab as the framework. Maybe when they release 0.9 or 1.0. Another possibility is to start talks about merging both projects.

General Discussion / Alpha 0.2: Second release available!
« on: September 19, 2007, 03:55:35 pm »
The second release, Alpha 0.2, is available!
 
There was some discussion of whether it should be called an alpha, or a pre-alpha. It is not fully functional yet, but as said before, it has all AC's 0.7.1 functionality.

This release extends on the Alpha 0.1. There were installation issues with that release that, hopefully, are now all solved.

There has been a lot of improvement on the spreadsheets and the presentations apps. Still a long way from finished, but the Presentation already produces S5 files (very similar to what the brand new 'Google Presently' does, but standard - and we beat Google by two days)!

Remember, it is still on a very early stage, but a great proof of concept, and you might even get some real work done!

One last thing: We are alway recruiting volunteers! Get in touch if you are interested.

bnordgren,

Thank you for your thoughtful input. You brought up so many issues that I do not know where to start, but will try to address all. Note that I speak on my behalf, and other OpenGoo developers may not necessarily agree with my views.

On the use of AC as "the platform"

Marcos already explained the reasons for choosing ActiveCollab (AC) from the 'features set'-point of view. Also, it was written for the AMP stack (LAMP or WAMP), making it very easy to install (another plus).

This choice wasn't easy. The time spent researching for the platform may prove insufficient. But there are so many possibilities that it is becoming virtually impossible to evaluate all of them. Then we kind of went with our guts.

The (or at least mine) biggest concern was exactly what you point out: the community behind it. We wanted a pre-installed community and, at the time, AC didn't 'seem' to present one. But since the issue was so big at its own forum, we figured:
  * Someone would fork it (Already happened. Look at PP)
  * We would fork it (Probably we won't need to, if PP meets our needs)

On Project-Open

Project-open looks very interesting. This is a topic of great interest to me. I never heard of them, and you could see I have taken a lot of time to research this. In particular, I am convinced that the future of ERP is on the Web, and that such systems will succeed only when built on what Marc Andreessen just called a Level 3 Internet Platform.

Building/Using a Level 3 Platform is one of the goals OpenGoo should pursue.

On the other hand, Project-Open looks complex, rather old and, yes, it is not developed for LAMP, which takes many points away from it.

On programming in C/C++/Java/python

You call programming in C/C++/Java/python wasting time?? Dude, that sounds like a lot of fun!

On the last link and quote

Lovely! Although a little old, the article you linked makes for a very thorough resource. And long! In fact, having taken the time to read it is part of the reason I took so long to answer you.

Now, by this time it should be clear that I totally agree with the paragraph you quote. But we did find two motives for making a new project:
1) There was no Open Source Web Office project that we were aware of.
2) There seems to be no relevant Open Source Level 3 Internet Platform for this kind of systems, written for LAMP.

Plus, you left out the immediately following paragraph on the article, which would be quite encouraging for us:
Quote
If you really want to be famous, then develop a core technology that allows one to easily create any one of these systems by merely modifying a configuration file. Most of these systems have broad similarities: they maintain lists of things that can be searched, categorized and updated. Only the labels on the columns are different. This is ideal for abstraction. Broadly speaking, workflow systems have this kind of configurability. But there are other ways to create the abstraction as well. Do it!
  ;)

Hope to read from you again.  :)
