Alpha 1 Knowledge management for Open Atrium, test it now!

Video: 

We've blogged before about the Knowledge management feature package that Pronovix developed for Open Atrium. To make it really easy for you to test out the features, we made a tarball that contains an installation profile that by default will enable all the knowledge management goodness:

Concurrent editing in Graphmind

Video: 

The following video is an initial proof of concept of the multiuser mode of Graphmind. It allows more than one user to work on the same mindmap at the same time. One step further to making Graphmind a real collaborative tool.

There is still a lot of work to prevent/resolve conflicts, but it shows the possibilities.

Refactoring graphmind: a plan to mindmap life the universe and everything

The following is an outline of the new concepts and the architectural changes we want to introduce in the next version of Graphmind. If you are interested in the project please give us your feedback in the comments!

Concepts

Multi-user modes:

  • Transactional updates: all updates are packaged in an object that gets communicated through a P2P connection with the other Grapmind clients that are viewing the same session. We've got a demo of an initial proof of concept on Peter's post.

Ever since Open Atrium went public we've been working on integrating our knowledge management features into it. Yesterday we cleared the final hurdle to get our stack into beta. In this screencast you'll see the following features/modules in action:

Today Peter activated his brand new Graphmind feature on our intranet/extranet that we built with Open Atrium. The feature adds: a tab to the features menu in group spaces; a view page with the mindmaps in the active group space and a button to create new mindmaps. The feature might be quite basic, but the possibilities are mind-boggling.

Drupal mindmap = GraphMind

Video: 

GraphMind is a mindmap solution for Drupal. With the Flex based mindmap editor you can organize your map nodes in a structured tree. Custom attributes can be added to nodes, as well as in FreeMind. On the background, the format of the map is fully FreeMind XML compatible. Besides the host site, GraphMind can connect to any external Drupal sites (service modules are required), and load data from each of these sites. A loaded data can be Drupal nodes, users, files, terms, comments and Views lists. On drupal.org a developer version coming soon:

Graphmind: a mindmap UI for Drupal

In February I wrote a blogpost on how Drupal Freemind 2.0 could be turned into a relational (semantic) data interface. So many months later we've abandoned the Java plugin in favour of a Flex plugin and with what result...
