Hi,
I want to use egroupware (http://www.egroupware.org/) as the base of an address book application. We will only be dealing with the address book and user / group component of this system.
The main objective is to have a mutually managed address book from which labels (for event invitations) can be printed.
Users must be able to manage their own contacts (addressbooks), and add and remove them from global lists (events).
I believe the “distribution list” (DL) function of the address book is ideal for this, especially due to the fact that users can easily add and remove contacts from the DLs on the same screen, without having to go into each contact individually.
I have a working test installation of egroupware on my server.
I will have approximately 15 users, 3500 total contacts in the 15 different address books.
I need :
1. approx 30 global distribution lists to be configured so that users can add and remove their own contacts from the distribution lists, but only the administrator can add / modify or remove distribution lists.
2. users and privileges to be correctly configured, so that :
- each user can manage their own contacts and add / remove contacts from distribution lists but NOT be able to delete distribution lists.
- admin user can to add / remove any contacts from the distribution lists.
3. a custom module developed to allow each distribution list to be exported into a PDF file (formatted for label printing, I will provide label reference), this will ideally be plugged into the egroupware interface or as a parallel application on the server. If possible, access to this PDF function will be configured in the ACL of the users and groups.
4. assistance with importing existing data from Excel files into each users address book. The built in import / export function in the address book does work for a partial import, but I am having problems with some records (due to accented characters in some of the addresses).
You MUST have good experience with egroupware, ideally an expert in the subject, and must be prepared to hold a discussion conference call (skype / tel) with me (in english or french) to nail down any loose ends. Only serious bids please.
This is a concrete project, and I’m ready to start ASAP.
I look forward to hearing from you.
