Cool application !

Though this is not a SuSE specific post I am so impressed by this
application that I thought I'd mention it to the group. The application I'm
referring to is a collaborative workspace for OpenOffice which has a free
community edition as well as a non-free (pay for it) version both of which
are GPL'd ! It is called o3spaces and you can get it here:

http://www.o3spaces.com/

From the web site:

O3Spaces Workplace brings document management and document collaboration
features to OpenOffice.org...., including real-time version control,
check-in/check-out and document security.


For some reason I could not extract the rpm from the provided RedHat
compatible version with the tar command. I did get it to work by (if my
memory from yesterday is accurate) left clicking on the package and
installing it with kpackage. Suppose I might have done something wrong but
that was how I got it installed. Just had to press enter a lot to scroll
through the readme in kpackage after entering the root password and 'q' to
quit once I reached the bottom of the readme. Then it installed o.k.

Once installed I used Firefox as Konqueror doesn't work for this
application. This is a nice polished application and should help
OpenOffice gain Enterprise level features that were not available until
now. Nice even for small companies too. This is also another reason to
not need the M$ office collaboration stuff.

Sorry to post this for those who don't see this as a SuSE/OpenSUSE post but
I like sharing such gems with my co-users as this just expands are great
open source alternatives and hey, I did mention that there is a FREE
community version which is GPL'd... And it works with our FREE/GPL'd
OpenOffice suite.

Enjoy.


P.S. I don't work with ANY software company nor am I affiliated with any.
This is just because I like to help our community grow and DOMINATE THE
WORLD.....
