Storm Contrib 6.x-1.x-de

Storm Contrib is an add-on to the Storm project.It offers extensions and new features to the Storm modules.Storm Contrib is new and still in development.Your feedback is most welcome! So please don't hesitate to contact us or create issues.Features * extends the core Storm content types * cost calculations * project balances based on project budgets * conversion and calculation of different currencies * single-page overview of a project's tasks and tickets (project schedule) * utilisation of persons (how much each person is working or available) * consideration of weekends and national holidays * consideration of holidays by individual people * Apache Solr Search extension to search just Storm content types * ticket dependencies * timetracking lists for each person per day * timetracking statistics for each person per day and per month * timetracking favorites list for each user - easy start and stop of timetracking, without many clicks * exports lists as .csv, .xls, .doc * and more ...RoadmapStorm Contrib is still in development, but it's getting more stable.As a next step, we want to improve usability and optimize layout.There are also some features on the wish list: * finish the stormticket_assigment_jsapp module * build charts to optimize handling larger projects and many simultaneous projects * improve handling for company departments * RSS feed for notification of modifications to tasks/tickets * option to save filter settings for each user * maybe a dashboard that is accessible from every page (possibly displayed in the header) * adding hooks to provide a way for other modules to interact, for example in the costs calculation * ...I will try to add some of the features as soon as possible, but time is limited. The first alpha release is planned for October 2010. So the first stable release might be available in late 2010 or early 2011. I think everybody wants a good and stable module instead of quick releases containing bugs.If you have improvement suggestions, please write issues.RequirementsStorm Contrib is an extension of the Storm project, so Storm (http://www.drupal.org/project/storm) must first be installed before Storm Contrib can be used.There are some calculations done by the system using cron because they will last too long if there are many projects, tasks, tickets and people. So cron should be enabled and started regularly, if possible once per hour, depending on your particular Storm use case.DatabaseAt the moment, Storm Contrib only works with MySQL. PostgreSQL is not yet supported, but there is an issue (http://drupal.org/node/846544) related to handling this.HintsStorm Contrib is developed by a German agency, so date formats and national holidays are available for the German market. But this can be changed in the Storm Contrib settings (provided within the Storm settings). At the moment, only German national holidays are available, but it is easy to extend the system to consider any other country. See the storm_holidays module documentation for further information.We would be grateful for your help with improving multinational holiday support! Please send us lists of your local national holidays and how they can be calculated. We will include them so that they are available for everybody.Development * The 6.x branch of Storm Contrib is still in development and is not yet stable, so is not recommended for use in production environments! * A 7.x branch of Storm Contrib is planned, but will not be developed until after the 6.x branch is stable. It's likely that the 7.x branch will involve a major re-write to reflect probable changes to the Storm architecture, e.g. use of 'Fields in Core', Views, and Features * The 5.x branch will not be supported.Unfinished ModulesThe following modules are still in early development and are not ready for use. So please do not use these modules! There will be changes in the functions, tables, and possibly even the module names. * stormticket_assigment_jsapp (still experimental)DocumentationThe first version of the documentation is published. See http://drupal.org/node/817982It is just rudimentary documentation of the modules, but it will be improved as soon as possible.How to helpWe are currently testing Storm Contrib.
