Over the next few months I'm going to be working on some zimlets that work with dotProject.
1. Drag and Drop and email and it writes it to an email module that I'm writing for it. The email module is very simple. Just creates an email and sends, has no receive capability except through the zimlet.
Zimlet behavior
Drag and drop an email to the zimlet, zimlet asks for Project number or "project_short" in dotProject sql schema. Our project managers all know their project numbers.
dotProject behavior for email mod - by itself[LIST][*]Simple form to send message to contacts that are in dotProject[*]also has a tab under projects to show all project related emails[/LIST
2. Contact import or sync - one way only from dotProject into Zimbra
Currently I use the following command to delete the contacts every morning
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov sm
dotproject@example.com emptyFolder /contacts
then import them in via .csv.
I think the following would work just fine.
1. a new contact into dotProject would automatically make a new contact in zimbra for realtime'ish feeling of contacts.
2. Every morning have
dotProject@examlpe.com/contacts get dumped and reimported.
Yes, there are problems with this, but I think it would be a "good enough" for our needs right now. Maybe there is even an easier way to get contacts, something like the ICal format, but for contacts.
Anyway if you have any comments, suggestions, or want to participate ...
