Take a look at ZFS. It maps objects, such as Images, Files, Mp3's, DTML Documents etc on to the file system so that versioning systems or other tools (such as samba) can be used. Its designed for just this purpose in my mind. Now if I could just get someone to buy a system built from that... ;)
Do - did - done. Like the idea, but will wait for it to be more mature. I'm in all support of your effort!
Ive found most calendaring systems on intranets get totally and utterly ignored myself. Other intranets that give all these online chats / email clients and all that stuff have never done a thing for me.
Well there are people who those apps mean a lot - and also some people that those apps are the intranet. Some pointy haired managers want to see intranet as internal magazine and nice looking calendar on same page. For example there are some enviroments where these calendar, email, contacts - functions in intranet are really usefull: think about company where people move a lot and don't have computers at their usage all the time, but these access points. But like I said, I don't want to discuss about that now. I just wish that some people would make such a solution someday ,--) Or I could wrap even some commercial package to be used inside Zope enviroment.
What I want in an intranet is Google. Take Zope, ZCatalog, Document Library, Mailman, a searchable mail archive, easy group user management, Wiki's, ZFS and Samba, roll it all into one easy to take pill and tadda its an Intranet I would like.
Yes. We have seen similar dreams. Zope + CMF as a foundation. exUserFolder or LDAP USerFolder for authentication Search that accesses also mailarchives in local mailman and possibly sends querys to other resurces if wanted, like: - ASPN's archive of Zope-list - Google groups - etc. Wraps newsfeeds from other resources with: - KebasData - Meerkat - RDFSummary Tools for building knowledge - Wiki - Some realtime chat / whiteboard tool ( any suggestions? anyone? ) - Personal blogs / ideabanks for storing ideas as they come - CVSView ? Personalisation - Filter the elements you want and need to see - to be the first ones accessible from anywhere Now that would be a good foundation to do some serious work. -huima
