mxm Workgroups 1.2 for Plone released

mxm Workgroups makes collaboration easy and possible for networked and virtual organisations. It is a way to make shared "workspaces" where groups of people can collaborate. Yet it still has all the freedom, flexibility and simplicity as a normal Plone folder.

Changes

  • Added Workgroup workflows and corresponding GroupMember role.
  • Added support for Internationalisation (i18n). Only danish and english .po files though. But it should be easy to do your own translation now.
  • Linux users had problems due to a bug in PageTemplates concerning newlines. All .cpt and .pt files are now in Unix format. So hopefully that should be solved.

mxm Workgroups consists of three main parts

  1. A Workgroup content type, that acts just like a normal Plone folder. With the difference that you can add members to it, and give these member local roles in the workgroup. These folders acts like Member folders, only for groups. Different groupmembers can have different roles.
  2. A workgroup tool that keeps track of the groups and their members. It registers the Workgroups internally for speed. This also means that Workgroup members does not need to have local roles in a workgroup to be members.
  3. A Workgroup workflow with an additional state "Visible for users" Content and Workgroups in this state can only be seen by members of the workgroup that has the local roles of "GroupMember" or "Owner" in that Workgroup.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
