Hi,

Can we still expect the release of the second beta of Social Office for the end of March? Or do you have anything final on the changes or new features we can expect?

Can we still expect the release of the second beta of Social Office
for the end of March? Or do you have anything final on the changes or
new features we can expect?

Hi Bob,

It looks like it's going to be mid-April. We wanted to add some
additional features.

Here are some of the updates involved:

• Task Manager
• Contacts list
• Invitation system (invite members to Sites and to the Social Office
system)
• Better profiling (more like LinkedIn)
• More use of AJAX to minimize refreshes

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the update.

Even as it is Social Office is a very nice and usable product. Though those new features do sound very nice, please keep a close eye on UI simplicity and a clear workflow. I understand you want to build a fantastic product, just don't overestimate the average user :-)

Looking forward to the next beta. Keep up the good work!

Task Manager

is it going to be connected to jbpm or something alike?

More use of AJAX to minimize refreshes

Will it affect basic liferay portlets, or just some SO specific stuff?

[Bryan Cheung, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

At this initial stage the Task Manager will be standalone.

All enhancements to portlets are evaluated to see whether they are appropriate for Portal.

[Tarun S. Kayasth, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

Bryan,

Are we going to have Different Themes for New release of Social office?

Thanks,
Tarun

[Bryan Cheung, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

Hi Tarun,

Do you mean several different default themes to choose from or an
interface for adding custom themes?

Theming is out of scope for the next release but we'll definitely add
it to a future version. And there are ways around it for those who are
familiar with Liferay software.
