History: Tiki Suite brainstorming

Preview of version: 7

This page is to discuss/debate/brainstorm on
  • what needs should be covered and
  • which components should be part of the suite


Related: Components and criteria


Server

Virtualization

Operating system / Server / Firewall

Ubuntu server is the recommended platform for BigBlueButton, and Debian or Ubuntu is the recommended platform for Kaltura, so it makes sense to use the same, but it's not a show-stopper. It needs to offer PHP/MySQL/APC (or XCache)

LDAP-Mail-XMPP/Jabber

For administration of openLDAP, LDAP Account Manager can be integrated

cdrwhite runs several boxes with openLDAP, postfix, courier IMAP (courier authdaemond offers ldap but also mysql: we could also use tiki based authentication + vmail for that combination)

SIP/PBX


Client software

Tiki Suite is a server solution so users should only need a modern browser. However, there are some times where the browser is not (yet) ideal, and client software should be recommended. Ideally, this client software is

  • available in a portable mode, such as PortableApps.com
    • This means there is no "installation". The user can just use a USB key/portable disk.
  • cross platform
  • open source
  • can start up and log in when user boots up computer


We'll be looking for both desktop apps and mobile apps. Mobile apps is more for the notifier than for the WebDAV edit access to files

WebDAV edit access to files

http://suite.tiki.org/Tiki+Suite+Components#Cyberduck_WebDAV-FTP_client

SIP/Jabber

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IM_clients#Multiprotocol_clients
Should be cross-platform like Jitsi or QuteCom
Ideally, runs on PortableApps.com

Notifier

If this is not part of the SIP/XMPP client, we'll be looking for a system tray notifier app like StatusNet Desktop

  • New message in chatroom
  • New email received
  • New dent/tweet
  • Play audio and video podcasts

Browser

  • While any modern browser will do, Firefox or the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet application suite are candidates.

Email

Office suite

http://suite.tiki.org/Tiki+Suite+Components#LibreOffice

Mobile

  • SIP client
  • VPN client
  • Mail client
  • Shared Calendar
  • Shared Contacts
  • etc.


To be decided




For a local server there should also be:

  • SAMBA server (authenticating against openLDAP)
  • NFS server (authenticating against openLDAP)
  • A VOIP-Solution (cdrwhite: Asterisk + FreePBX + tftp-Server for phones)
  • A solution for automated backups (cdrwhite: I use my own bash scripts with support for local folder/streamer, scp/ftp/ and all mountable folders, backing up mysql, openldap and different folders, will shortly be (again) available at http://adminloesungen.de/
