OpenGroupware Coils is a Python port of the venerable OpenGroupware project. It is backward compatible and can be installed in parallel with legacy versions of OpenGroupware. It provides additional features including an AMQP-based service architecture and a BPML-based workflow engine. The workflow engine includes the ability to read and write a variety of file formats, operate on relational database services, and a variety of common actions required to automate various tasks. Groupware resources and workflow route, processes, and formats.can be managed via WebDAV. Groupware functionality can also be accessed via the zOGI XML-RPC API just as with legacy ZideStore servers.

Free/Busy support is complete. Numerous improvements have been made to the document management capabilities.


Release Notes: This release included an improved WebDAV implementation and enhanced zOGI functionality. New features include XLS import capabilities and user/team management OIE actions. Projects can now be organized into hierarchies. Management of favorites has been refactored and debugged.


Release Notes: The latest improvements include enhancements to the SMTP listener and a new mailBlastAction for generating email to the Contacts assigned to a collection (with mail merge and unsubscribe link support).

A JSON-RPC bundle was added for supporting Horde applications. Additional workflow actions were added for document management and creating and watermarking PDF documents. Output filters (OSSF) can now be applied to both workflow messages and project documents. An SMTP listener allows the server to directly receive workflow inputs for the site's MTA. Some third-party modules have been embedded to make deployment easier.
