proposal: ESME

hans_bakker
Proposal:

We are looking to copy an ESME server within OFBiz as a component to
allow for twitter like messaging within the OFBiz environment.

users coming on the ecommerce site can 'twitter' a message which is
monitored by the system admin, who can answer the questions.

Logged in users can follow other registered users and can twitter what
they are doing...

more info at
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ESME/Collaboration+with+OFbiz

any thoughts?

regards,
Hans (@hansbak)

Hi Hans,

Your proposal looks interesting from an technical point of view but
I'm have trouble picturing a real life business scenario, can you
provide some examples? And most important, can you address why this
should be integrated into Ofbiz? Isn't it easier to integrate with
(any) external chat server using an API?

Re: proposal: ESME

This will give you a twitter environment only visible by users of a
particular ofbiz system so within a company, i.e. not public.

A twitter environment is more general than chat and encourages
collaboration much more....chat is only person to person...but it looks
like it can do chat too...

Hi Hans,

I understand what it can do. Can you tell me why this feature should
be integrated into Ofbiz?

>From the first page of the ESME project:

Enterprise Social Messaging Experiment (ESME) is a secure and highly
scalable microsharing and micromessaging platform that allows people to
discover and meet one another and get controlled access to other sources
of information, all in a business process context.  
You can hardly turn a web page these days without seeing a story that
describes how people are using social networks, whether it is Twitter,
Facebook or some other service to develop and build their personal
communities. In business, we increasingly see blogs and wikis
demonstrating utility in problem solving and communications but the real
time nature of business process problem solving largely remains
untouched by social networking tools. Existing services, while
attractive do not scale well and have proven unreliable. This is
unacceptable to business which must be 'Always On' and able to support
people in their daily working lives. Such applications must therefore be
scalable and reliable but also provide a lot more.
When solving problems, how good might it be if a user was able to tap
into the collective knowledge of her peers or surrounding groupsof
people with whom she might naturally network in the workplace setting?
How much quicker and with greater precision might she be able to solve
daily problems? What if there was a communications mechanism that takes
the best of what services like Twitter offers and co-mingled that with
readily recognizable business processes? That solution is ESME.
The ESME blog has more details about ESME as well as project news.  

Regards,
Hans

Then we are getting into the discussion if ESME is useful or not. That
is why i copied the first page in a previous message. Please check
earlier messages where i understood that in general the community agreed
it was useful.

This proposal is not that IF we should use ESME but only how....

Hans

Re: proposal: ESME

Jeroen van der Wal-2
But still in all discussions it's not clear to me WHY it should be IN
Ofbiz. Please go ahead and create it but if you implement a feature
just because you can, don't compare it with alternatives and didn't
find a business driver I find a waste of resources. But I'm more then
happy to be proven wrong, perhaps I'm not seeing things clear ;-)

Jeroen

Re: proposal: ESME

Tim Ruppert
If is definitely a question Hans - the How I'm sure we'll be able to figure out.  I like the idea of a chat being inside of OFBiz - it can help on all kinds of levels from helping with errors to walking a user thru the ecomm site to find the particular pieces to whatever - I can't couldn't care less about tweeting in there though - the general nature of it would be bad and difficult for a company to manage.

If ESME does chats - and also can offer Twitter like messaging, then I think we could have the best of both worlds.  Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ruppert

It is first if we can, then it is how.  Things that go into ofbiz
trunk must be useful for everyone, and you need to explain why this
would be useful, and in which situations.

That's silly, being useful for "everyone" has never been a requirement for a contribution...

If Hans likes it enough to work on it, I see no reason for anyone to give him a hard time for it.

Yes, I don't see why this should be a requirement for a new feature.
BTW it's a pity there is no PABX like Asterisks, but with an usable licence for us

Why ESME was: proposal: ESME

hans_bakker
In reply to this post by hans_bakker
Some users are wondering if ESME is useful to add to OFBiz or not,
therefore some promotion why I think it is interesting and yes I have
business cases for it:

1. It started with a request of our customers to have a chat possibility
in e-commerce for new users to ask questions via chat. I looked at 2
chat open source frameworks. Then ESME was proposed here in the mailing
list. My opinion is that if ESME can do chat too, then better go for
ESME so we have also twitter functions. (as Tim also stated)

2. ESME allows to use the twitter principle in a protected business
environment: developers/marketeers exchanging ideas, announcing news and
problems. (yes you should use OFBiz in your company to see these
benefits)
If you are still not convinced of twitter in a business environment: get
a twitter account and follow me: @hansbak i will keep you informed about
ESME within OFBiz and you will have the opportunity for point 3 as a
bonus.

3. ESME was actually born in the SAP environment and many people from
this environment now getting exposed to OFBiz because we are looking at
ESME too and the ESME people "retweet" my ESME experiences to their
network of twitter accounts.

I was not convinced about this twitter stuff but using this for my ESME
investigations has shown me that it is actually pretty exiting getting
to know so much new people in such a short time.

David thanks for the support because it looks like that the OFBiz
community has a problem accepting new functions like this one, even if
it does not affect their usage of OFBiz. So please people, not too
conservative and always be open to new developments!

Regards,
Hans

In reply to this post by hans_bakker
Hans, thanks for taking the extra time articulating all of this information - and no I don't think people are just giving you a hard time.  I, for one, appreciate you telling us all a bit more about the infrastructure and how it can be utilized - and am all for it!  

Thanks for bringing it to the table and for providing such a great description.

Cheers,
Ruppert

SIPfoundry sipXecs is LGPL, i know it is only compatible in binary  
form, but still. it is user friendly, based on java. in their next  
version they are integrating openfire, a jabber/XMPP server based on  
java, and dimdim, web conferencing. both are GPL, but we do not need  
to distribute them...
anyone interested?

Thanks Manuel,

I have no time for it but I have a friend who is working in telco and 2 or 3 years played with Asterisks in OFBiz.
I guess it will be great to have a call feature from OFBiz.
We have also a requirement from this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2371 (see inside the PDF)
I will see if my firend is still interested...

Mmm, thought after: we have a lesser but still a problem with LGPL (see OPTIONAL_LIBRARIES)

In reply to this post by hans_bakker
Hi Hans,

This was the kind of explanation I was aiming for. Great things start
by sharing a vision or a business problem and enrolling the community
into that can provide thrust. Googling "esme sap" gave me even more
perspective on the matter. Will add my future comments on ESME to the
wikipage.

Regards,
Jeroen

Re: Why ESME was: proposal: ESME

Wickersheimer Jeremy
Hi,

+1

I am sure a lot of customers would love to see this integrated. Maybe it is not 100%
necessary, as not all of them have expressed the absolute need to have this, but it is
sure good to have: a communication framework (being chat like or twitter like, purely
internal or toward customers) can be a real plus when comparing to other ecommerce / erp
solutions.
