[TYPO3] Matching requirements to functions

[Ries van Twisk]

Dan,

you 'might' be looking at the wrong product then.
Typo3 is indeed capable of doing all these thing but I think you need a 
groupware product, not a wCMS system.

I never worked with opengroupwhere but here is a feature list:
http://www.opengroupware.org/en/applications/index.html

I have en the past worked with moregroupware, but it is not under strong 
development anymore.
http://mgw.k-fish.de/
One of the core developers of typo3 has been/is a moregroupware 
developers aswell.

cheers,
Ries

>Central file storage of protocols/procedures
>We need to have multiple admins upload/move/delete files and everyone to be
>able to read them. We also need to be able to structure the storage into
>folders and if possible to be able to restrict access to folders according
>to user roles/permissions.

>Ability to alert users to new uploads to the Intranet
>If it's possible to have users alerted to new documents being uploaded then
>that would be great. We would ideally need to be able to select whether the
>alert was sent at the time of upload
>
>Internal/external contacts
>We need 2 global contact directories, one for internal and one for external
>contacts, that can be categorised, say by department or company. Both need
>to be searchable
>
>Holiday calendar
>We need this to be viewable by all but only editable by those with the
>appropriate permissions. It would be nice if we can style different types of
>event, say with different colours, deal easily enter and manage recurring
>events and if possible to have it display a day or a week at a time
>
>Noticeboard
>We'd like to have an area that any user can post a message onto, say for
>items they have for sale, or for announcements and such like. Much like a
>virtual noticeboard that is in the office
>
>Web links
>We need to be able to have a collection of web links that can be grouped by
>type
>
>Access restricted by user level
>Linked to Active Directory so users simply need to log into a pc open the
>intranet and they have the appropriate access for them
>
>Staff In/Out board
>Not essential but if there's a way to link that in to AD as above then it
>would be a nice additional function
>
>So will Typo3 be able to do this and which modules would meet our
>requirements?
