Announcing TeamSpace: A safe, well lit place for Teams to hang out. About TeamSpace is an infrastructure product for developing advanced groupware and collaborative applications. The TeamSpace product introduces the concept of Teams to CMF and Plone. Teams are analogous to groups, except that membership to a Team is represented by an Archetypes-based content object, similar to the way that CMFMember (upon which TeamSpace depends) represents Member objects. TeamMembership objects are subject to workflow, allowing memberships to be "active" or not based on the current workflow state. Additionally, each TeamMembership can have any number of arbitrarily specified roles within the context of the Team (or any associated TeamSpaces). Additionally, TeamMemberships support the concept of Team-associated schemas/metadata with values on a per membership basis. Put another way, each Team has the ability to store Team-specific data about each of the Team's members, whether or not that member is active on the Team. As a collaboration mechanism users who have active TeamMemberships for a Team can use a TeamSpace, which dynamically allocates security settings within the TeamSpace based on the security policy specified by the Team and the TeamMembership. The following projects are using TeamSpace in Production: - EduPlone - BlackRockCity Extranet - PloneForge - MarketBroker Project Site Downloads, Mailing Lists, BugTrackers http://projects.objectrealms.net/projects/teamspace Credits TeamSpace was developed by the Black Rock City/Burning Man group and ObjectRealms. http://www.burningman.com/ http://www.objectrealms.net/ License ZPL2.1
