Hi Helge! >Well, I think you misunderstood me. IMHO all those things (project, >forum, workspace) are technically the same things, the only difference >is that people coming from different backgrounds expect different >labels to be able to understand what it can be used for. Agreed. The label of Workspace or project is more of an administrative or organizational tool than a functional one. But if people decide to customize OGo, then having those project types in the db may help provide customized views of OGo data, for example. >I'm not sure that creating 1...n different links in the UI is a good >solution to approach that issue. Eg this will raise the question in the >user what type of object he should create (quite difficult to answer if >they all do the same thing ;-) True. Site level customization can be one approach (admin decides). "Tool tips" when you create a project or workspace can be another. I think that most people would agree that a workspace is a good general purpose container, whereas a project is more a specific thing. >The effort from the programming side isn't high (because those are the >same things ;-) I realize you're trying to reuse the OGoProjects code, which is good! /Mike -- Sent from a Palm Tungsten T over BlueTooth using Versamail. -- OpenGroupware.org Discussion [email protected] http://mail.opengroupware.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
