[phpGroupWare-developers] Future ... and Poll

[Caeies]

Hi all,

As some of you already know, I'm officially the new phpGroupWare
maintainer from the FSF point of view. I want to thanks Dave / skwashd
for all the work he has made as the FSF maintainer of this project.

We have recently hardly discuss about the death of the project. It seems
that we want to try to make it alive :).

Maat did a good job by reworking the svn tree, making it easier to
understand. Thanks for that.

Sigurd seems to have things to commit in his branch (btw is this on the
=2E16 base or .18 ?). I'm waiting for this to speak about that after.

I don't want to start a "blabla" thread. But I want to know what you
think about the real added values of phpGW :
 - do you think that the building of custom module is important ?
 - do you think that having a high level API is important ?
 - do you think that the intermodule communication is important ?
 - do you think that the number of proposed module is important ?
 - do you think that having an easy setup is important
 - do you think that having a groupware able to communicate with other
groupware is important ?
 - do you think that having a groupware able to communicate with
specialized devices is important ?
 - do you think that being able to easily brand phpgroupware is important=
 ?
 - what kind of applications are important ? why ?
 - other things that I forgot ?

Please, keep in mind that we have the following things already well
running :
 -> google apps (shared calendar, shared documents, mail, ...) and their
concurrent.
 -> API : Zend Framework, symfony, cakePHP, ...
 -> other groupwares in java / php / python / whatever ...

So, in short : where can we add value to our project, what are our
strengths for YOU developers ? (users are welcome to give their feedback
too :).

Beeing free software is important for all of US (at least I hope !). But
we need to go ahead, rebuilding a strong community of contributing
developer and not only users.
