From what I can see, what I labeled as "Projects" and others labels a "Workgroups" is something that lots of people have asked for and some have implemented ad hoc on their own sites. Is anyone interested in working with me to get a portable implementation of this single product? A "Workgroups" implementation could serve as a basis for all parts of an educational intranet, or any other intranet for that matter. Now that Plone has a working "GRUF", I think "Workgroups" should be a priority. Some background: 1) From what I can see at http://plone.org/events/conferences/1/archive/plone_groupware/view What I called "projects" has been implemented in "TeamFolders" for the BlackRockCity Extranet by Rob Miller. I can not find a demo of this to see the implementation, but from what they say their "TeamFolders" is the basic unit of the user interface, they control user access to content with extended roles, and they are strongly typed, constraining the allowed types in each folder. This seems to be perfect for organising a school intranet, as I mentioned in my previous post about the Project/Book metaphor. In "Future Plans" it says that the project is going to be reworked without ZPatterns and ZClasses. Does anyone know how to get in contact with the people doing this stuff, or to get access to the current implementation? 2) Also in http://plone.org/events/sprints/castlesprint/wiki/WorkflowTe DannyB comments that he has also implemented workgroups with some similar features, and briefly describes how has done this. 3) Connections also has a workgroups implementation as described in http://cnx.rice.edu/help/reference/workgroups/view Althouth this is a little different from the previous two implementations, there could be some useful stuff here.
