1. Main problems and annoyances you encounter when using ActionApps

- From the perspective of Colnodo we have been experimenting trouble installing the AAs in multiple platforms. The incompatibility between Apache 2 and Php was a big problem for our projects. Will be very useful to have an installation system that will provide with guidelines to make sure the Aas will work properly. I.e. a user that is using a version of Apache server with a Php that doesn’t work an installation system that will report that situation.

- Compatibility with different database servers will be a big development. Most that want to use the AAs refuses in the end because they don’t want to run a MySQL server. So will be great if the Aas supports Postgres an MSSQL servers.

- A logout link from the administration interface is need. When using Mozilla under Linux unauthorized access is very simple just by open the administration interface by selecting the appropriate history link in the browse, Jaime Torres that is attending the meeting from Cepes can explain this problem in detail.

- Sites using the "site module" -at least in spanish- present many erros specially when moving spots in the site. We believe this funtionality is very powerful but a enhacement is needed.

2. Features suggested for future development versions of ActionApps

- A bulk upload of Constants from ascii delimited files.

- Pre-defined slices as examples in the distribution, i.e. to create Weblogs.


3. Comments About Usablility

- Some times too technical, more examples in FAQ system is needed.

4. General future development suggestions

- Integration with powerful GIS systems like Mapserver. We'll present our ideas in this issue (ask Pep and Omar)
