EGroupWare: Interim Results

PM Trackbacks (0)

After using eGroupWare for a while, I've learned to appreciate it but not without some arguments. I am still in a learning phase and I just use the few modules necessary for basic project management.

In summary, I am impressed and from what I see when playing around with the other functions of it, there's much potential for various future uses. In particular though yet a major mistery, I like the integrated web site builder. More on that later on.

Project Management

PM Trackbacks (0)

"Project Management" - what a bold term. Everyone uses it and often boasts with it without even knowing how to handle it. Here a quick definition from Wikipedia:

Project management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources in such a way that these resources deliver all the work required to complete a project within defined scope, time, and cost constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, that brings about beneficial change or added value. 

This description should in most cases avoid long discussions about how and what to do, assuming a goal is clearly set. I'm not going into details about management methods but focus on software to get things done.

CSLH: Messenger Replacement

Communication Trackbacks (0)

Crafty Syntax Live Help provides an excellent tool for the host to create its own chat messenger in style of MSN Web Messenger.

The true advantage lies in the basic requirements and use of the host's domain name which makes it easy to bypass firewalls and proxy servers usually installed in places like public libraries, government offices and medium- to large companies.
