The features on preview are still in development but we've now provided a way for the community to see what we are working on next. This is pre-beta code so there will be bugs and it may not work perfectly across all browsers. Firefox 1.5+ is recommended for the best experience.
Your feedback on the new functionality as always is appreciated.
FYI Here's some more detail on getting to the Notes app.
* Log into the preview by following the link Hosted Preview Demo.
* Click on the notebook icon (The bottom icon on the far left of the app window)
* You will get to a table of contents page
* Click on the "new" button in the app toolbar (the far left button. It has a page icon with a green plus sign on itO
* You should now be in an editable document where you can type/insert away
* The spreadsheet may be inserted via the insert object drop down
* Click save to save the page. |
I saw this on Ajaxian this morning, and it really excites me. I have some (unfortunatly long and painful) experience with COM/DCOM that makes me a bit weary.
In Particular:
- Can it be shared between users? Or you do need to copy paste just the html form?
- Can you share these documents across multiple machines? Or is this strictly limited to a Zimbra only enviornment? Or will the system automatically package enough details and code so that anyone can edit the document if they can make a connection via http to the origination server?
In general, I really like it, even if it does hit one of the zimlets (a wiki zimlit) I was working on for the contest ;-(
