Dec 12, 2009 by Srikanth AD MyTestBox News
OpenGoo, an easy to use open source web office software, which we have reviewed here, has recently released its final version of 1.6.
In brief, OpenGoo is a web office software that allows a group of people to collaborate by sharing information over the Internet. It is a complete solution for every organization to create, collaborate, share and publish all its internal and external documents. You can plan and manage all your projects, easily following the status of every task, set milestones, pending tasks, personal notes etc.,
This is the final release of OpenGoo version 1.6. Following are the new features in this release,
Archive objects and workspaces
When you no longer need an object or workspace you can archive it to remove it from your every day views, while its still searchable and accessible via the “Archived Objects” workspace.
Mark as read/unread for all types of objects
Until now the read/unread functionality was available only for emails. Now it is also available for all other types of content objects. If an object was modified since your last view it will be marked in bold for you to quickly notice that it has changes. Once you view the object it will be marked as read.
Improvements to the email module
- With this new version of OpenGoo, mail accounts can be shared among several users. This allows multiple users to read or write email from one common email account.
- You can assign a workspace to a mail account to automatically classify email to that workspace.
- One can group emails into conversations. And, quickly access an email’s replies or original message from the email’s view.
- Attach files directly from your computer when writing an email.
- Send other emails as attachments. Just attach an email and mark the “Attach contents” checkbox.
- Email Junk folder. Mail classified as spam by your mail server is sent to the “Junk” folder.
- Emails are sent asynchronously. You can continue working on OpenGoo while an email is being sent. Useful if sending email through a remote SMTP server.
- Create task from email. Shortcut to quickly create a task from an email.
- Insert in-line images into OpenGoo emails.
- Pre-configurations for known emails (GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo) when setting up an email account.
Document editor upgraded: The new version loads much faster on all browsers. Functionality and cross-browser compatibility has been improved. You can insert images into a document, from your PC or from OpenGoo.
Other improvements
- Improved workspace permissions edition and password recovery procedure.
- Events can now span more than one day.

HyperOffice adds remote meeting capability
Aug 19, 2008 by Bill Morrison MyTestBox News
Their slogan, “Collaboration made simple“, comes into play here. Sure, net meetings are all the rage, but let’s face it- you have to dumb it down or Mel in the mailroom isn’t going to be there.With HyperMeeting, easy to use conferencing on the web comes to the HyperOffice suite (online business collaboration and email solution).
There’s a trend toward keeping your valuable employees in their cubes. The traditional meeting involved actually getting up from your chair, at least climbing a few steps and heaven forbid maybe even driving somewhere. This old-school way of doing things really interferes with our understandable drive to sit comfortably all day and work on adding a few more pounds to our huge butts.
Sure, there are other virtual meeting offerings:
* Facilitate has Virtual Meeting.
* RTZ Software has one (Windows or Mac).
* GoToMeeting now offeres VoIP (anyone remember conference calls?)
* WebEx
* Others to numerous to mention…
The nice thing here is that HyperOffice already does so much – why use a third party when you can just add functions to what you already use?
Says Dr Tapp (CEO of Clinic Aid Research Management):
- “HyperMeeting integrates easily with HyperOffice. We are already using it for internal and external training, and for executive management meetings. It’s especially useful for new sales – instead of flying, we now conduct webinars and meetings via HyperMeeting“
You can see the entire press release here.
And the free trial is here.
