Hi Babynus!
First of all, let me congratulate you and your team for some piece of work you've got here. Project'Or RIA has proven to be an excellent tool regarding project management issues.
I really like the way you've exposed almost EVERYthing (and EVERYway it works) through parameters, so portal admins can configure it to suite almost everyone's needs (or as many as it's humanely possible;).
My proposal deals with mail notifications: I really like how we can automate notifications about many things (and many more comin' next version, as I could see;) and even better, configure them to go straight where it's needed, and not flood everyone's mail inboxes (which would eventually lead to caos and finally people get tired of them and don't pay attention anymore).
But, there's one thing I really miss about them: the ability to reply (from my mail account) and get that response "uploaded" to the portal. Even better, if we could attach files to them.
That's esencial when it comes to company-client exchange. Why? It turns out many of our customers (and I got the feeling I'm not alone on this) use their own document management procedures. And mainly, they are prepared (and accustomed) to use mail clients as their info tracking system. Whether they just leave it there (in their own mail servers), or use more complex database, automated tools (like Lotus). But in any case, they're not willing to give up their own tracking systems and simply "join" our portal.
So, if we could have this feature I'm requesting (with further "fine-tuning", probably;), we could actually engage our customers in company-client exchange, and track that info inside Project'Or RIA. That would be a KEY feature for us, and BOOST our possibilities with your software. I'm mainly thinking about document management and automated workflows, meetings & decisions & issues discussions, etc...
I saw you've submitted a ticket about "implementing email client functionality" within Project'Or RIA. That would ALSO be great for this kind of exchange. I suppose one obvious feature a mail client within the portal would have is the ability to LINK mail conversations with tasks, meetings, etc... That way we could stop diving inside our inboxes so as to find "that previous mail where we agreed on that, remember?"
This would ALSO be a KEY feature. Do you have any idea about when you might be able to get your hands on it?
That's all for now... I expect your answers
