Hello - I'm still working on the project/todo etc., just got
parts of the automatic forms working. I got sick, so I dropped
behind in development.
Kevin first wanted it in CVS and then said it shouldn't be there,
so I don't know if there is any interest in this being a part
of JetSpeed. I plan on continuing development, and making it
available, because it is based on something that was pretty
popular before. I can send copies to anyone who wants to see
it. Basically, there are xml-parsed pages (like cocoon/ecs, but
not integrated yet) that get project information from the database,
there are projects, tasks, clients, contacts, employees, notes
sections for each, allowing for discussion groups, etc. It
is based on a metadata description for the database so that the
forms & lists & tables are automatically generated, so that the
system is fully extensible, adding any number of additional tables
& columns to the database and just adding pages to pull information
for the additions, and not having to write any code. There
is an application that requires importing data from project
schedulers, so I will probably get this in after the basic
functionality is complete.
You have to see the pages to see how easy it is to traverse the
information - every reference to an item is a link to see the data
for that item, there is automatic email of project/task state
transitions, simple entry methods for time cards, and more. The
database is automatically generated from the metadata description.
Let me know, I can either send a copy or send a feature list
or snapshots of the pages. It won't be long before the automatic
form generation is complete, and then I can work on the auto-emails.
