tutos-devel Mailing List for TUTOS

Hi all,

I know I have done nothing in the recent past coding TUTOS and stuff. Oh, eh, 
well, I did succeed in getting it some dutch media attention.

However, I have some ideas I like to share and hope for some input.

TUTOS is with regards to functionality pretty complete but I have been missing 
one thing and that is 'lead management'. I have been thinking about this for 
some time and here's what I came up with.

If there is to be a module 'leads' it should be queue oriented. The place of a 
'lead' within the queue is dependant upon:
-date of last contact
-estimation of succes rate
-number of recent projects/products the client has already purchased.

Some calculation should be done here. 

The 'leads' page shows customers with their calculated urgency with which you 
should contact them again. In my business a 14 day interval is fine but I can 
image there are other businesses where this is shorter or longer so that 
should be a customizable variable.

So If I called them yesterday, they go back 13 days in the queue, unles I 
entered another value on the contact form ( a subform with all the contacts 
that we've had). Maybe I want to call the client in 3 months time because I 
don't judge this as a high-potential right now.

Also, there are clients I have sold something to in the past and I just like 
to checkup on them and let them know I still exist.

Okay, what are you ideas?

greets to all

Sure !
Most things happen behind the scenes and you will only see the 
activities in the CVS.

There is a 1.2beta waiting for finalization
and we already started a 1.3 development tree
also there is a 2.0 branch which will try to use smarty as a temnplate 
engine.

Hi,

The TUTOS development is active. Actually Gero is stabilizing the 1.2 branc=
h=20
and caring for 1.3, and I'm working on a TUTOS 2.0 version.

This will mean a lot of work to merge head and 2.0 branches, and then of=20
course new ideas to be implemented.

Some of the ideas I have concern database management, where we could use=20
templates (yes, again) in order to manage a dedicated set of query for each=
=20
supported RDBMs (that would allow for supporting mysql and at the same time=
=20
using stored procedures and subqueries with postgresql).

Regards,

I forgot one more thing.

Page Resource usage:
If you'd like to follow my idea (see previous email), it'd be better =
to use=20
'Volume done' instead of 'Volume' (planned volume) as a value in brac=
kets for=20
tasks.

Cheers.

P.S.
I'll submit this patch to sourceforge.=20

Hi list,

Statement:
Resource usage page shows events from the Calendar (e.g.=20
meetings) and tasks which have=20
'SCHEDULED start date<end of the month'=20
or =20
'SCHEDULED end date>begin of the month'.=20

Problem:
I personally don't always specify scheduled start and end days for my=
 tasks.=20
So, when I start working on the task which doesn't have scheduled sta=
rt date,=20
I'm not able to see it on my Resource usage page.

Solution:
Don't you think it'd be more handy to show (at Resource usage page) t=
asks for=20
which=20
'REAL start<end of the month'=20
or=20
'REAL end>begin of the month'.

Any comments?
