Re: WebReports and Plone

Jakob,

Overall the plan looks very reasonable.  I added a few specific 
comments, although I think we need a better mechanism for tracking 
feature development than word docs. Let's decide on one between you, 
Jesper and me.

The open issues I see as critical are
- tracking: need a detailed activity log for all users in tabular form.
- group support, in a broad sense: users need a way to navigate / limit 
content by the groups they belong to.
- readability: i'm not convinced that a non-technical user will manage 
the system as-is without massive assistance. I do think some slight 
customization can go a long way here.

As for the time frame.  I think you are a bit optimistic about getting 
it all together in 1.5 months.  I suggest we list 2-3 basic scenarios, 
and see how fast you can support those.

Here's my example scenario:

    Joe kid created a notebook with 5 tools in it. 
    He puts it on a personal web-report, by holding the notebook and 
hitting pause.
    The report automatically includes an image of the notebook, some 
text and a link to the tt file.
    The report is automatically listed under Joe's "My reports" and 
under the general reports folder.
    Joe kid invites Max dude to look at it by a dialogue accessible on 
the report.
    Max looks at it and comments on Joe's report.
    Joe thinks about the comment, then edits his notebook and updates it 
on the report.
