Describe the task
(following from this discourse thread: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/suggestion-to-reorganize-rebrand-the-groupware-features-of-nextcloud/246359)
Hello, NextCloud is great and it already has all it is needed for a groupware application. Just I think it is badly organized/names (in my humble opinion).
I think the "core" of a groupware application is triad composed of (a) agents, (b) resources and (c) communication channels.
- "agents" are the users (humans, but perhaps also AI robots) , they have permissions related to resources and to communications
- "resources" can be the NC shared data, the calendars, the deck boards...
- "communication channels" are in NC the persistent rooms for chats and audio/video calls in Talk, or the emails
The possibility to integrate them in NC is super and unique, but my experience is that people doesn't realize this is possible because the apps are dispersed and with bad names.
For example, the agents (teams) are in "contacts". The mini-web pages (a resource) is instead named "collectives".
I think there should be a sort of app unifying this, called perhaps "Projects", where the user could easily add agents, resources and communications to the project.
This is absolutely possible now, just that it is too hidden into the individual apps.

To do
- Create a "Projects" app that interface the other groupware apps, perhaps providing a dashboard of any given project
