Two points, First, openness is a fundamental component of sipXecs. For commercial success I believe we need to be proactive about leveraging the openness and providing tangible feature value i.e. end user and enterprise value that is anchored in: voice, video, desktop and presence/IM, and/or integration with desktop or backend enterprise applications. Clearly openness provides commercial value by enabling others to deliver customer value too - as part of an ecosystem, or as a custom integration. My opinion is we have to go beyond this.
Second, the integration of a conferencing text editor and email has merit - some will really like it and others may be less enthusiastic. However, offer this as one out of a collection of user productivity components and I believe we start to raise the bar on the impact and capturing mindshare. A suite of user-centric functionality could be powerful. As part of our roadmap I would like to see us define and deliver unified communications functionality that reinfoces the value of openness *and* delivers a suite of user capability that is anchored in the UC categories above and accessible from the user portal or softclient. (note: where appropriate there's a desire for value add on the hardclient as well) IAN -----Original Message----- From: Krzeminski, Damian (BL60:9D30) Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 11:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipX-dev] Idea for Conferencing user portal Alfred Campbell wrote: > What do you guys think of this. > > To expand on Paul's issue about allow names to be entered next to > conference members. > In the conferencing User UI have a Notes Button and Email Minutes Button. > The Notes button opens a text box that allows you to put in a large > amount of text for minutes of a meeting. > The Email Minutes Button would send the user (to the configured email > address) an email with the following: > Start Time > Stop Time > Roll Call with names > Notes section > > This could be a very nice feature to create minutes for conference calls. > > I know I would use this. > > Al > Yup - nice one. I do think that in longer term sipXconfig should just provide rest services and let people to write specialized UIs for things like that. But no reason not to implement some of this into user portal directly.
