It looks fine, so far and i downloaded it. I'm not sure if i understand the Workgroup-sharing correctly - can different users participate at the same Address-book or Calendar? I mean does it support a shared calendar for several people?
If yes, this Product is my way to go and Zope and WorldPilot will get another Licence ;-)
The following test was done with the WorldPilot Note facility and I suspect would be similar in the calendar. I have three test users on the system tester1, tester2, and tester3. I logged in as tester 1 and created 3 notes: 1 private, 1 public, and 1 confidential. I then added tester2 in the sharing page with browse and read access. Tester3 only got browse access. Tester1 sees all three notes, tester 2 the public and confidential, and tester3 the public. If you have resources that need scheduling you should be able to set up userids for the resource and let it have a calendar that is open to appropriate people to read and/or edit. There may be a easier way to do this and maybe Ryan will let us know if/when he sees this. :-)
What type of document administration are you looking to do? I have some Notes/Domino experience and if that is your reference point I may be able to help you find answers based on Notes style solutions.
I'm not entirely sure here - the client wants something that would be covered by the Microsoft Exchange Server ... but as a LINUX guy i prefer to use LINUX and Zope. As i can tell, Notes/Domino may be exactly what is on my clients mind! Do you know something that could would fit this?
Thanx a bunch so far for you fast and nice reply! Byebye,
I've not had a chance to work much with Exchange Server but if memory serves it doesn't do much more than a standard IMAP server in the sense of mailboxes and shared folders. It provides support for calendaring and address books (with client support for LDAP, another of the things on my list of things to learn.) So beyond that it depends on what they want to do. Good Luck!
