Hello,
Is anyone here familiar with the "collaboration" featues of MS
Office? What do they do? What do they provide?
I'm sorry that i cannot answer your question above. since I have never
used any collaboration features of microsoft office (I have infact
never used any MS office version above 95, and that was in school)
My understanding is that it lets two people edit the same file and
resolve the conflicts. But how does that differ from OOo's "compare
document" feature? Do they provide file history in the sense of CVS?
That is, the ability to go back in time to previous versions of the
file.
I can however tell you what our company has done for openoffice
regarding document collaboration.
We have developed a Collaboration suite for Openoffice 1.1.x and 2.0,
where all users assigned to a document, can simultaniously work in the
same document. The functionality is advanced with a client/server
implementation using a relation database on the server.
The Collaboration suite will be released when 2.0 is officially released.
The suite contains the following functionality:
* Granting read and write access to sections of a document.
o The rights can be granted on department level, role level
and user level. Granting the acces can either be done directly
in OOo or from a webpage.
o If the user has read access to a section this can only be
read, not written to.
o Hiding of sections the user has no read access to.
o Setting of priority, due dates and estimated worktime.
o Integration with intranet
* Centralized configuration management of the complete OpenOffice.org
package where different configuration and access profiles
(OpenOffice functions) can be set for:
o Organisation, department and users with inheritance and blocking
features
o Every item in the config and access profiles can be limited by
dates if needed. As an example we can mention the disabling of
spellcheck,cut and paste during a exam day for a class, but
for pupils with dyslexia the spellcheck is enabled.
