Re: [Envolution-devel] org. questions... talk with me

[<s.k...@pr...>]

sjah:
[...] From my point, the recent article is just only about communication
timing.
We have lot of new members who starting to know eNvo. The forum is active
with questions. And maybe some new members also not came from pn users. So
we have to start to maintain the communication to eNvo members. [...]

You're right. This is a big problem overall. But if we have a better
documentation in our supported languages, most users don't ask basic
questions. So the support-team can concentrate they work better.
But I meant with my points of view not only the supporting, more with
developer eyes.

[...] For the next posting /article which are related to the development
issue,
I'll post it here first, to get some feedback before post it to envo.com
[...]

Good. I hope I'm not the one-and-only developer on this list ;-)

[..] We have to find our own motto and vision, for i.e. replace the motto in
envo
main page, 'eNvolution is a PostNuke forking .. etc'. From marketing side,
this is not a 'selling' information :) [...]

Absolutly agreed. Now eNvo is better then last year. And only in some core
parts a fork of PN / phpNuke.
There are many functions, modules and designs which other CMS haven't.
And I don't forget the great work of our italian friends (many thanks to
Luca alias csipiemonte) about Oracle integration.
This direction is what eNvo needs. These things make eNvo uniquely.

[...] More similar to political party organization
rather than business organization :) The key point are the same vision,
idealism and goals. If these are stated clearly, then volunteers will be
interested to involve more seriously. [...]

But I think also OpenSource-projects with the dimension of eNvo needs a bit
same strictly and hirarchical structure as a commercial project. Not all and
not with same restrictions. But without any rules, everybody can do what he
want, and maybe two devs works on same things at same time (but without
knowing them).
This is dangerously and unexceptable.
Remember what happend with PN-devel-team last year.

[..] I plan to install phprojekt in envodev site. This is a light groupware
app.
not too complicated, which can be used to integrate all ideas, task from all
envo networks. We don't need to create fixed schedules, but at least we have
a time frame for the planning. [...]

Good idea. But do you know that I am develop a module named "Todo"? This is
part of our intranet with some more links to our backends (SAP R/3,
Customers, projects, marketing, etc.) and several permission checks.
I have change this module a bit and installed it on eNvo.de. Sorry, but not
all works fine now. But I will finish it soon.

If you are interested, you can see it in action here:
http://www.germany.envolution.net/index.php?module=todolist
Not all members are allowed to look into this list. I have to activate them
manually.
But "sjah", "GatoNero" and "TiMax" are activated.

Possible we can use it instead of phproject. ;-)
