Re: [LUG] funded project, doctors need communication system

[Aaron Trevena <betty@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are plenty of threaded discussion interfaces - most people unfamilar 
with the internet pre-MSN would probably be scared off by newsreaders - as 
they won't have experienced threaded newsgroups or email.

The web provides good threded discussions that can be integrated into a 
wiki or other collaborative tool. PHPNuke and Slash are the most powerful 
news/forum packages and wikis are available in both perl and php.

Notes is actually very good at Workflow and collaboration - it provides 
version copntrol and digital signing - it also has Java and C interfaces 
to hack it directly - It should be possible to build a simple perl library 
on the C API. I once spent several months automatic the paperwork out of 
an office with Notes and it did teh job very well - it was good for our 
very strict PRINCE2 project management as well - this of course requires 
you to btoh understanding programming notes well and project management / 
workflow.
