TeamSpace

A framework product providing sophisticated tools for organizational management and secure, team-centric collaboration.

Project Description

The TeamSpace product is part of a developer toolkit allowing for sophisticated organization management using the Plone content management system.

TeamSpace provides a set of content types to represent your organizational structure, just as Remember uses the Member content type to represent an individual. The following types are among those provided:

Team

representing a team, group, department, project group, etc.

TeamMembership

representing a person's involvement with a Team

TeamSpace

a folder wherein members of a team have heightened priveleges for content creation and management. used as a workspace for collaboration, either visible to the public or private to the team members.

These are all full, workflowable, Archetypes content types, able to support custom schemas as needed. Team members can be active or inactive with a given team, and they can have varying roles (and thus priveleges) within the team's workspaces. Also, TeamSpaces can be associated with multiple teams providing easy support for cross-team collaboration.

The set of slides prepared for a presentation at the 2004 Plone Conference in Vienna may prove useful as a reference.
