GroupPress Prototype Version 1.0

GroupPress is coming along, yet still has a ways to go.  There are still some essential ingredients that are missing as well as many spices to finish it off.

The following is list of what we currently have and what we are currently missing:

What we have:

-         The basic "group page" of aggregated shared content

-         The "on-page" discussion overlay with partial functionality.

-         The ability to share items using the Marklet and on-page discussion back to the group page.

-         Feasibly, we have the URL that can be shared with others (although not the mechanism to easily share) that loads the page with the on-page overlay.

What's missing:

-         On-page tools and functionality: highlighting, annotating, drawing, etc.  The discussion is primitive at this point.

-         Limited group page "dimensions".  The goal is to create an efficient dashboard for the group's shared items and activity as portrayed in the mock-ups.  What's there now is much like a Facebook Newsfeed.

-         User accounts

-         Multiple group management

-         Smoothness and speed

-         Customization

-         XML

-         The major sharing mechanisms.  The goal is to have this thing spread virally--be able to share the on-page discussion with anyone.

-         A proper name and domain
