OpenNTF Charity for Copyright Ownership

: July2010
: license
I recently wasted many hours trying to take over the dormant DominoTeamMailbox template that hadn't received an update in over a year. In the end, I got buried in all kinds of unnecessary hassle regarding Intellectual Property and Copyright and for this, and a other reasons, I pulled my code ...

Sign all projects (nsf/ntf) with an OpenNTF id

: July2010
: sign, database, security
would be nice not to have trust all those tropical signatures from everyone when opening a downloaded application

Activeness indicator

: July2010
: project, indicator, july2010
 It would be useful to have some sort of "activeness" indicator(s) for a project.  For example, is the project still being developed and/or supported? Are there future releases planned? I'm thinking of the situation where you see a project that hasn't been touched for say 2 years.  It would be ...

Common Application Signing Account

: Infrastructure
: signing id
As you look to re-design the site, I think it would be a good idea to look into creating an OpenNTF signer account that the finished applications (especially in the new catalog) would be signed with. That would allow me to choose to add this into the ECL for my ...

Permanent IdeaJam for new applications

: July2010
: ideajam, applications
a permanent ideajam for new application types can be the feed for new application projects on OpenNTF. Who can deliver an app for a high demand?

VM Image with ready to use Demos

Alternatively (or additionally) OpenNTF could host some web apps in demo mode live.

Red projects

: Strategy
: strategy
New projects should be kicked off as 'red projects'. Similar to redbooks a couple of experts work (virtually) together on a concrete deliverable in a short amount of time. In difference to redbooks the main deliverable however is not text, but code. This is a very efficient way to produce ...

Provide a public Sametime service for OpenNTF users

: Strategy
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should provide a Sametime service for OpenNTF users to interact via instant messaging. This doesn't necessarily mean that OpenNTF needs to set up it's own service but could also mean that OpenNTF leverages and integrates other services (e.g. LotusLive, bleedyellow, etc.)

Add a "how to contribute" field to all projects

: Infrastructure
: contribute
Almost nowhere is a description or invitation to contribute to a project. It would be great if this could be encouraged by the infrastructure with a "how to contribute" field/page.

Also, it would be great if there would be a how-to about contributing, as this (at ...

Starter database/templateView Linked Idea

: July2010
: template, ntf
For new projects it would be handy to have a clean starter template. The database should have a minimum interface for the Notes client.
 
I have uploaded an example which we use ourself:

This makes the delivered projects a bit more genuine (hey, this is an ...

Disallow project deletion by project owners

: July2010
: project, governance, july2010
This may be a controversial one, but from my point of view it's pretty important.
 
There have been a few instances in recent times where project owners have, for one reason or another, deleted their own projects. I think this is quite troubling from a governance perspective, since it ...

Improve the overall UX for the home pageView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: infrastructure
OpenNTF should improve the user experience of the home page:

- The UI should look more modern and clearer

- Full text search needs to be a first class citizen to find content, people etc.

- Recent content (projects, samples, blog entries, ideas) should be shown

Add "Production ready" rating/category

: Infrastructure
: category, rating
There are a lot of projects, which you can use, but not every one is ready to be deployed. Some are frameworks, some are just not ready (yet).

It would be great to distinguish them so you can only browse the "drop it into your domino ...

Theme RepositoryView Linked Idea

: Infrastructure
: css, themes
I suggest that a section of OpenNTF be set aside for XPages themes. Similar to the CSS Zen Garden ({ Link } each contribution would modify a base form and/or view and provide screenshots, .css files and any images.

The base form/view would have common elements, ...

LotusScript.doc should be supported by OpenNTF

: New Projects
: lotusscript.doc, javadoc

See { Link }

So what is LotusScript.doc?
Well basically it aims to be for LotusScript what javadoc is for Java,
that is a standard easy way to generate HTML documentation for LotusScript code in Notes applications.

Contact page for OpenNTF

: contact, email
I know you guys probably do not want to have your mailbox spammed but a contact page to drop your 'general' questions would be nice to have.

Brief Explanation of license types

: July2010
: licensing, apache, gpl, july2010
 I'd like to see some sort of brief description which tells me what the Apache license means and what the GPL license means.  
 
When I go to the download page I see the two categories but I've got no idea what they "really" mean, or what the difference ...

: July2010

Just like the Lotus Awards / Teamstudio Awards but then for open source projects only. Finalists won't receive prizes, just the honor to get mentioned.

why can´t we get template from the http://openntf.org/Internal/home.nsf   site ?
