Keeping track of progress

Perhaps I missed something somewhere. Is there or could there be a
wiki page that we could use for updating what we are doing individually?
     For example: I am doing a major rewrite of Chapter 2
(Planing-Designing your Database). Presently I am nearing the end of the
planning part of the chapter. The latter I hope to complete by the end
of the month.
     Imo, such a wiki page would allow team members to view what is
being done by the entire team at one time. It can also indicate what
will be needed to be done in the future based upon what is being done
now.
     Just a thought ...

Hi Dan,

From an efficiency point of view, in the long term such info might best be kept somewhere "close to the document" (not in the wiki - where only insiders look for it - but in Alfresco perhaps?).

Question to David: Does Alfresco allow some kind of attached ("post-it" like) comments for a document? And, simultaneously, displaying them on a summary page (and grouping/sorting them arbitrarily, e.g. by document, priority, creation date / due date, or by name of creator?).

Just another thought :wink:

     Thanks! I entered the date I uploaded the Getting Started with Base
in the Getting Started table. I also created a table for the Base Guide
in its section and listed the chapter I uploaded yesterday as well.
(Took me a little while to copy the code from the Math table and look at
the code from another table to see how it works. But I got the hang of
it after a little experimenting.)
     Now that I have a page to look at, I will do some thinking and
maybe come up with something.

Hi,

Question to David: Does Alfresco allow some kind of attached ("post-it"
like) comments for a document? And, simultaneously, displaying them on a
summary page (and grouping/sorting them arbitrarily, e.g. by document,
priority, creation date / due date, or by name of creator?).

It certainly does. There is a description attached to each document,
as well as other meta data. Comments can be attached to documents,
too. It is possible to develop special views that present documents
the way you mention (ordered by various criteria).

Moreover, it's worth remembering that Alfresco will display meta data
defined in the LibreOffice document. So much better use could be made
of that meta data. Plus, there's also the inline commenting that can
be placed in a document. There's also the possibility of generating
mail alerts each time a document is edited.

Nor should one forget each user's individual dashboard, which can show
activity, and updates on tasks and workflows. Although making full use
of some of these features implies clearly defining how you want to
work.

I'm not sure what you mean by "our individual dashboard". I know there is a
wiki
page listing the team members with links to personal bio's, but "dashboard"
is a
term foreign to me.

Hi Dan,

When you log into Alfresco, the first page you get directed to is your
dashboard. It contains various panels (widgets) with information feeds
from various sources.
