Glimpsing Into Collanos’ Future: What’s Next

[Peter Helfenstein]

An interesting article on Collanos Blog - see http://blog.collanos.com/2009/01/28/glimpsing-into-collanos-future-whats-next/

January 28th, 2009 by Franco Dal Molin:

We are constantly being asked about new features, if and when they would be incorporated into the solution offering. Additionally, we are getting also many great suggestions and features requests, posted directly to the user forum.

In the hope of relieving you at least partly from your anxiety, we decided to compile a “short list” of areas that we will very likely address in the next one or two Collanos Workplace releases.

    * Calendar, including simple synchronization with popular web calendar(s)
    * File system integration (synchronizing folders of the operating system)
    * Search functionality across all your workspaces
    * Organizing and grouping of all your workspaces with keywords-based tagging or categories
    * Saving objects like Emails, Contacts and Calendar Events from popular Groupware applications
    * More transparent synchronization, show content replication details and new options to influence
    * Support of multiple devices with only one unique Collanos Name
    * Workspace templates, incl. template Web publishing to exchange with others
    * Further improvements in task and project management
    * Additional contact management and user profile improvements
    * Expand historical change logs, to include all system objects and user actions

Please continue to tell us what you would like to see incorporated next in our releases. Feature requests stemming from real, daily, and intensive practical use take precedence from long theoretical “wish lists” of possible features. In any case, any and all ideas, suggestions and votes are welcome. Please post directly to the feature request section on Collanos Forum. Thank you for your contributions.

Any idea when the new (beta) release will be?

Are any active development work done on Collanos?

We're avid Groove users but have experienced some, introduced, issues with Groove during the last year or so that is making it less reliable for a business. Collanos seems very promising but most of the above mentioned features are badly needed. So we eagerly looking for Collanos development steps that will take us closer to abandon Groove...

Please give us an update of the development plan!

since my last message (see above) on april 22, I haven't noticed any sign of progress on the website or any new releases.
still I'm a happy user but I have to agree with you: further development of the mentioned improvements is nessesary for me also to enroll it in our corporation of 12 users...
