Quoddy

I'll be working on adding some new features to our Enterprise Social Network project, Quoddy[1]. One thing I plan to work on is the ability to insert a document, and the associated tools for operating on that document, into the stream of events. We already do a basic version of this for BPM events, where you can approve/reject/delay/transfer events from the stream, but we want to generalize that facility a bit and add something for working on files. For now, that will probably mean Google Drive integration, but we'll probably also eventually do something for working with files in a repository using something like JCR[2] and/or CMIS[3]. Longer term, I think we'll do something with Apache Wave[4] and the Operational Transformation[5] stuff as part of this whole idea of putting interactive entities in the stream. It's not all fleshed out

Depending on which features of Sharepoint you value most, the answer is "it depends". You can crib together a suitable replacement from various parts and pieces, but I don't know of a specific "Sharepoint Killer" per-se. But using a DMS like Alfresco, a wiki like XWiki or Mediawiki, an enterprise social network product like Quoddy[1], a workflow engine like Activiti, you can accomplish most or all of the same things. All of that said, we are planning a comprehensive "Sharepoint Killer" at Fogbeam, but it's not available yet. But that's actually our goal, is to combine and package all of the open source "bits" needed to built a comprehensive Sharepoint replacement. If you'd like to discuss this in more detail, feel free to shoot me an email. prhodes@fogbeam.com [1]: disclaimer: Quoddy is our ESN product at Fogbeam Labs. https://gith

We always welcome additional community involvement for any of our projects at Fogbeam Labs. Yes, we're a company and hoping to profit from our OSS work in time, but everything is ALv2 licensed, developed in the open, in true community fashion, not Android style "throw it over the wall" whatever. Code is all on Github. Most of our code is in Groovy, some stuff is Java. Future stuff might include anything from Clojure or Scala to R, or C++ or Julia. Quoddy - an enterprise social network. To use an analogy "Facebook for the enterprise" - but so much more. https://github.com/fogbeam/Quoddy Neddick - an information discovery platform. To use an analogy, think "Reddit for the enterprise". https://github.com/fogbeam/Neddick Heceta - a search engine. Think Solr + ManifoldCF + (some other stuff for social search and semantic search).
