Description

Open Atrium is shaping up to be the Drupal community's first choice as a home built project management system. In the past half a year we've been working on a series of features that expand Open Atrium's abilities in terms of on the job knowledge management. Recently we launched a first alpha release of this knowledge management package. You can download it from our website.

During the presentation I'll introduce the features included in the package and shortly explain how they can be used. I'll also make time to answer questions from the public. The features I'll discuss are:

  • a RDFa WYSIWYG editor that allows users to mark up snippets in a text and so indicate the different contexts that the information can be useful in sort of in-text tagging. Paired to that we developed a layered display technology for semantically marked-up text fragments in full text. This let's users choose the type of information they would be interested in seeing (e.g. advance level, knowledge space, etc.).
  • a bookmarklet feature for Drupal (javascript snippets that live in your bookmark toolbar) that makes it really simple to submit snippets of text that you encounter on the internet as solutions for a problem you are working on. Since it can be integrated in one's project managment system it can be as simple as click-review-submit. This could be especially interesting when a group of people is collaborating on a key account.
  • Graphmind, a mindmap module for Drupal that allows you to upload mindmaps to your Drupal site and even use data from your site to build mindmaps.
