Hey, have red about your demand of such a management system... We're the Reca|| to He|| Mod and still working on such a possibility of file-coordinating and have built up a complex system of management for members and done files, listed with pictures and description. As well as some "to do" lists and communication platforms. We have finished about approximately 70% of this platform Features: Storage for all done works with picture [if available] and description well sorted in different categories with date, author and all necessary options [download, upload etc.] Database structure; fleshed out, there will probably be some changes, but the main components are there. Tree display; works, collects an index of all categories and content items from the database, and builds the tree. A later version will load info more incremental (as needed). TODO; every category has a todo list. It's an overview what still needs to be done in terms of content creation, bughunting, polishing, integration of parts etc. Notes; every piece of content has a list of notes. These involve open communication about the part, perhaps extra specifications, standards, etc. Personal notes; every member has his own list of notes, only the member himself can see. Any member can send another member a note (also members can make notes to themselves). Member status; Green (the user is available to take on new work), Orange (the user is busy with current work) and Red (the user is inactive). Version and progress bar. Every content item has both a version number and a progress bar. The progress bar indicates how far development of the current version is. Categories display the average progress of that section. Personal info page; showing a description of a member, and allows to send them a personal note. Implementing user home page; displaying information on the project, any new items that have been created since his last visit. Php'ing content/category/userinfo pages, logging in/out, adding notes and todo forms/handlers. Fully scheming out who can change what when, how new content items are added. I suppose a section leader would be great for doing that. Still need to implement how the status of a user changes. From active to free, and from free to inactive. Reminder email triggering, implementation. Could be a combination of the date when the user was last logged in, and the date the user has lastly contributed anything. Work delegation; I have to design how people can delegate work to another section (from modelling to skinning, for instance). Task managment; the categoryleader should link people to contentitems. We're currently discussing within the team if we offer this system for free for certain doom³-modteams when finished for a better workflow and coordination. So if you're interested...
