Ashok Hingorani, Indian Groove Guru and by far the most active poster on the Groove forums (over 2000 posts) has started a weblog. He kicks off his blog by announcing 3 new Groove-tools and a fair warning :
So far i have been playing with groove, for groove and others. now I really need to ask you all what tool is most important to you, and what would you like to see done to it to make it perfect. and that you would pay for. what capabilities / tools are totally missing, and you would like us to address. to test the waters i am releasing 3 tools, each a concept, that i hope you will find fine tuned to a need yours !
1. Matrix - multiple 2D workdsheets in a single tool, assignable to one or more members. privacy in a public space, what everyone has been wanting. Plus - it has a neat private chat, per worksheet, with, believe it or not, unread marks and even a bell!!
why can't groove do this if i can ?? available now at www.apwiz.com/matrix.htm
plus an import / export to excel for easy printing and use of templates for anything from RFQ's / Project Costing / departmental Budgets - and it has RAG capabilities for quick status tracking!
2. DBConnector - simple yet totally useful. Import data from any external database, even add to it and edit it in groove, graph it if you like, but above all, share real data from MDB's, SQL. even .DBF files in groove, without the high overhead of Enterprise Integration Server. Under test, out in 1 week, your inputs already welcome. Thanks to SB for prodding this development and my long time freind, partner, guru, Roomy, for building the .dll, to handle every variation, from XML formats to creating a simple remote web service tool so you can safely share data, from anywhere, even across firewalls. 3. a true mail client - no outlook or any thing else - straight to your mail server, into groove. share it with others in a space or just enjoy the experience of a totally secure mail environment - now your contact list will not spawn a thousand viruses.
product under local testing, you can play with it in 2 weeks. inputs welcome now
boy, i warned you, do not open pandora's box by putting me on a blog...
