I am to organize information coherently and share info to work with a few people on a relativly big and complex project in next weeks that will last for next year or more. I am in desparte need of good Project Information Managment system!
from Personal Information Managment to Project Information Managment
... will try to describe ideals I strive for:
- Object Oriented
- meaning BeOS-like BMail & People Apps (making use of db power through easily added extended file attributes and live queries), something exBeOS now MacOS X developers are doing again as of recently, but in closed way and not as simple for people to add their own attributes or types
- types would include
- contacts (People, Organizations)
- locations (in different resolutions from absolute postal adress to regions)
- events (Reminders, )
- actions (Tasks, )
- assotiations (different connections/relations among data)
- media (email, documents, images, URLs...)
- cross platform accessibility
- so it can potentialy
- upscale to dynamic visual interface and
- downsacle to complient export formats
- info is possible to backup and use in different devices like phones or office productivity applications
- dynamic graphical interface
- supporting meta info on colors, rich text styles and sizes and preferably using something like:
- OpenGL/Mesa (- it could be heavy on weak machines) - Blender as PIM?
- Java (- it could be hard and even heavier on weak machines) - through use of processing ?
- Flash/XML (- could miss out on few platforms)
- AJAX/xHTML (- much slower nstable interface with need to click through a lot)
Meanwhile trying to:
- make my personal information as coherent and backed up into soem standard formats
- send out this link to few friends of whome I know are questioning the same issues
- further conceptualize ideas hopefully to be abstract enough for programers to be able to read it as prototype (never done this)
- it would be sane to separate DATA LOGIC part from INTERFACING/MANAGING/PUBLISHING and EXPORT/IMPORT FORMATS
RECIVED FEEDBACK - AUKE> www.openngo.org/
- (a bit too NGO centric and not elegant solution for internal project managment)
- CALEB> www.updatelog.com/
- will try in next days (issue - commercial)
