we are looking for a system, to enhance the internal communication for our company,
and are evaluating status.net for this now.
It has a lot of features we need, but some are missing.
i.e. we would need the minus char (or another Char as Replacement) to be allowed for user and groupnames.
The reason is:
- we will use LDAP-Authentication, and some users in MS-AD have the MinusChar inside their UserId (samAccountname).
- we would use groups for information-Channels, and we would need a hierarchical structure for them.
We could name them by type "department-topic-detail", but this will only be readable if any special Char is included, like the Minus-Char.
(GroupNames could be:
it-softwarexy-newfeature,
it-softwarexy-maintenance,
it-server003-maintenance,
it-network-subsidiary
it-network-datacenter
hr-training-new
hr-personnel-info
hr-personnel-new
and so on )
