django-organice 0.3

Fundamental Features

• Enables everyone to contribute to your content—while retaining your full control.

• Supports all four common collaboration and support patterns in several ways:

  1. Active contribution (create content, contribute corrections)

  2. Passive contribution (report issues, assign tasks, provide feedback)

  3. Active consumption (search and browse for content)

  4. Passive consumption (subscribe to notifications)

• Continually involves, helps and optimally supports your collaborators by sending out reminders, editing and submission hints to avoid losing traction or interest.
