#82 Several enhancements

[Mark Pemberton]

I like the simplicity of WebCollab. Was attracted by
the clean UI and simplistic views. However, there are
a few things that might help in my opinion (whatever
that's worth).

- What about having an optional forum post editor such
as FCKeditor or TinyMCE. I think that can be easily
added as a custom option that would definitely add
value to the product.

- In the project details page, have the "add task" in
the Task header (likewise with the forum posts and
files). Ok, sounds picky, but this encourages consistency.

- In the project details page, the forum posts, have
them summarize, and either showing a few lines per post
or something then either have a "read more" at the end
of the first few lines to show the full post, or show
the full post in a new window/tab. Primary reason is
if you have a number of lengthy posts, it's tough to
get a summary view of all posts and navigation is a bit
tough. Additionally, having a better transition
between each post.

- Ability to edit existing forum posts by author or admin.

- Contact info updates - obviously this will depend on
where you are at, but in the USA, we use
City/State/Zip, but there currently isn't a State
field. Also, it's a little confusing that the contact
is associated with this project. Maybe there's a
global contact list, and within the project details
(maybe under the attached files) have the list of
contacts (liked from the global list) that are
associated with that specific project. Not sure how
crazy it would be to have them linked to a task, but I
see that as a need on the project I'm working on.

I think that's it for now. I'll have more later.

Thanks!

Thanks.

There's a lot here, I will look through it more carefully a
bit later. (I've just spent the last week and a bit sorting
out details in language files and it has been very tiresome
and painful :-) )

What do you mean by "In the project details page, have the
"add task" in the Task header". I don't follow this.

Mark, please, use a good rule to separate different features into different tickets.
