PloneSocial Roadmap
Talk details
PloneSocial is a suite of add-ons for Plone that offers a full social business solution with microblogging, content updates, follow/unfollow social network, and secure per-workspace microblogging + activity streams. All of this is implemented in native Plone code as a one-click install, and nicely integrates with the Plone security machinery.
Planned future features on the PloneSocial roadmap are: social content (like, follow content), and social semantic tagging. This talk places the PloneSocial roadmap in a wider context I'm calling the Digital Workplace Technology Roadmap. Mapping existing and planned features on a web 1.0 > web 2.0 > web 3.0 evolutionary framework shows how PloneSocial addresses a feature gap in Plone. We'll cover some interesting technical/design/architecture challenges. And of course show a PloneSocial demo video, which in itself is a feature: recorded by the robot test suite.
While there's certainly a technical aspect, the talk is mostly focused on social business and design patterns, requires no specific expertise, is suitable for anybody who is involved with intranets / community sites / enterprise 2.0 / knowledge management. You'll get an overview of the social business field, and how you can use PloneSocial to create social intranets.
