˗ˏˋ Doug Belshaw ˎˊ˗ 💥☠️✊:I'm looking to talk to someone, ideally from an agency or small cooperative, who has switched to Nextcloud.
I'm interested in how people have things like Time Tracking and Deck configured for project/client work.
(please boost!)
Pretty telling that despite ~50 boosts of the above post, it seems there's not many people *using* Nextcloud? 🤔
If @weareopencoop do end up using it, perhaps we should write a guide that starts where this one from @homegrown ends?

🇳🇿@dajbelshaw I know heaps of people using it here in NZ. I've run 4 of them. @weareopencoop @homegrown
@dajbelshaw sorry, that should be "I run 4 of them" and that's just right now. I set them up for other folks & orgs from time to time, too. It's critical infrastructure for me and the orgs I represent. Replaces Google Apps entirely. in@[email protected] @homegrown
@dajbelshaw @homegrown (actually, counting again, I run 5, and recently shut down a 6th demo instance)...

As a small coop, meet.coop runs a NextCloud instance. It's essential as a repo for docs, internal and external (and Markdown is very handy, when the NextCloud app is working properly). But imho as a basis for teamwork collaboration (as distinct from doc sharing) I wouldn't say it was wonderful.

But then, I wouldn't say that shared calendars and kanban-ish apps were incredibly wonderful in general, either. The NextCloud toolset works. It's a kludge. Just like the web!
The browser UI is pretty stale? Without local editing in a proper editor, the web UI would be a complete pain? The web interface for OpenOffice is awful.
@mike_hales @dajbelshaw @homegrown I'd say if you're a small (or large) organisation wanting to be independent of big tech (which I'd strongly advocate for - see https://davelane.nz/mshostage) & aren't afraid of hosting your own (if you're a tech business, you shouldn't be) I'd build my infrastructure around NextCloud & MailCow along with a bunch of other #FOSS services depending on what you need, see https://tech.oeru.org/oeru-web-services-february-2021
