[Zope] [ANN] mxm Workgroups 1.2 for Plone released

[Max M]

mxm Workgroups makes collaboration easy and possible for networked and
virtual organisations. It is a way to make shared "workspaces" where
groups of people can collaborate. Yet it still has all the freedom,
flexibility and simplicity as a normal Plone folder.


Changes
-------

- Added Workgroup workflows and corresponding GroupMember role.

- Added support for Internationalisation (i18n). Only danish and
   english .po files though. But it should be easy to do your own
   translation now.

- Linux users had problems due to a bug in PageTemplates concerning
   newlines. All .cpt and .pt files are now in Unix format. So
   hopefully that should be solved.


mxm Workgroups consists of three main parts
-------------------------------------------

1. A Workgroup content type, that acts just like a normal Plone
    folder. With the difference that you can add members to it, and
    give these member local roles in the workgroup. These folders acts
    like Member folders, only for groups. **Different groupmembers can
    have different roles**.

2. A workgroup tool that keeps track of the groups and their members.
    It registers the Workgroups internally for speed. This also means
    that Workgroup members does not need to have local roles in a
    workgroup to be members.

3. A Workgroup workflow with an additional state "Visible for users"
    Content and Workgroups in this state can only be seen by members of
    the workgroup that has the local roles of "GroupMember" or "Owner"
    in that Workgroup.
