Knowledge managment in Open Atrium: our feature stack

Video: 

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:

In the next months we want to wrap our features into a new distribution. Obviously this all still needs some clean up and it'll take us still a bit of time to finish the package. Somewhere early 2010 we'll start providing a hosted version of the distribution to make it's functionality accessible for people that want hassle free functionality upgrades or that don't have the knowledge/time to do security updates.

We are not yet sure if we'll be packaging the features as a totally new install profile. We are playing with the idea to build a master feature that works as an add-on for the default Open Atrium install profile which only role it is to call the different features it depends on. This way we would only need to add minimal code to the Open Atrium install profile. It would also make it really easy to add new features to the stack: we just add a new dependency to an updated version of our master feature (using the feature server update infrastructure). But more on that later.

I'll be presenting this work on Drupalcamp Vienna and Drupalcamp Gent, come see me there, leave a comment or send me a mail if you see something you like ;)

I am interested in the bookmarking feature. I would like to create a general use bookmarking feature for groups to share links, similar to delicious. Would it be possible to get the code for that?

That is fantastic. I am using the feature Graphmind on my site, it is really an excellent job. I'm wondering if there will be multi-user editing functions on this-- WiKi mindmap.
Also I found there are other features available for open atrium.
I download Group space maps from http://fserver.pronovix.net/. I found it depends on the "member_map" module. dependencies[] = "member_map" in user_space_map.info. Where i can get that module? I thought it was a submodule of Gmap but failed to find it anywhere. Is that a module developed by you guys and not yet released to drupal community? Thanks a lot.

Looking forward to your new semantic features.

Did you ever find out about the member_map module?

Very interesting. Now, i'm working on a big project developed with Atrium. There is a csv for download and testing this stack?

Best regards
