Since the eyeos 2.0 announcement we are talking about its collaborative mode and how eyeos will help you and your relatives on your daily tasks. We have already presented some apps, (e.g. eyeCalendar 2 and eyeDocuments 2) which have some social features, but today we are introducing the most important tool which will make eyeos’ collaboration features amazing: the Social Bar.
Social Bar allows you to know on every moment the collaborative status of the document your are working on this moment. Social bar will appear on every app which can be used collaboratively, such as eyeDocuments 2 or eyeFiles 2. Let’s see what can be done with it:
The Info tab
File name, rating and people allow us to work with the document. You can tag a file from here. That will make your file search easier, discovering lively every file in your system that matches your search criteria.
The Share tab
With drag and drop you will be able to perform simple share tasks, for sharing something with a single user or with multiple ones. Assigning specific privileges to each contributor is also easy. Just select the status you want to give them (e.g. viewer or editor).
The Notes tab
Sometimes, when you share a file with other people, you would like to share some info regarding that file. This is why the social bar includes a section to place comments on every file. Users sharing that file can keep a conversation about every file (e.g. photo, document, video…).
The Activity tab
Working with more than a user in the same document could get you into coordination problems. Activity section shows you the document changes and who made them.
Stay tuned for new presentations soon!
I’m beginning to like the collaborative eyeOS 2 features more and more!
I think that idea and usability of Social bar will be corners stone for future eyeOS versions. Whats most interesting with social bar is sharing files with multiple users but as well collaborative part and presence inside other applications such as E-mail client and Calendar where you can share/drag and drop e-mail conversations and events to users in Social Bar.
AWESOME !
Incredible…Go go go!!!!
Thanx for you efforts guys! What will be the requirements for eyeOS 2.0 (especially concerning office support)?
This is very impressive. We’ve been evaluating open-source collaborative environments for years now, and the ideas you guys are having are right out at the leading edge. Especially if you succeed in implementing them all. We’re looking forward to January!
Waoooooo. Looks great
