Okay, I'll admit to a couple things right up front. I'm a newbie to this Radio stuff, and while I understand web technologies conceptually pretty well, I've not edited a page of HTML in my life. But I get "it".
So here's my dilemma. I've been following this Radio stuff for a while now and I'm feeling empowered to dump Microsoft Exchange server and its public folder nightmare and just go with Radio as a Workgroup knowledge sharing tool along with RCS. Here's where I get stuck. Radio let me post to my weblog in less than 5 minutes as advertised, but the curve gets really steep from there. For example, I love those little navigator links that people have and thought about using those to reference other project pages within our company. But it appears that I must manually add those using HTML. Really? Why can't this be automated? Next, I really want to be able to use Radio as a project status tool and embed links to files on our Cobalt Cube or Windows Server. How do I do this? Must I learn to embed HTML links to this files within my weblog text? We'll never be able to use this tool as a productivity knowledge sharing tool if we must train people to use HTML for these types of simple knowledge sharing things.
So, I guess what I am looking for is that someone who KNOWS this product to write a "Guide to using Radio for Workgroup Collaboration" type tutorial. I'm not looking for Groove here just to be clear. All I want is to be able to add reference links to other pages easily, link to MS office files or PDFs with ease, etc. THink about how you might use this tool in a software company where lots is happening and you want to share files and information without emailing this stuff around to everyone or having to administer Exchange server.
Powerful tool, but I must confess that it appears to drop into geekdom pretty quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love geeks, and I'm a secret geek, so I will probably dig in and learn this anyway. But if I am to have any hope of deploying this as a general workgroup tool, it has to be MUCH easier to do basic things in this context.
Can someone point me to other links or docs that might guide me here? I can't believe I'm the only one who sees the potential of this tool in this context.
Thanks for listening. Keep on digging!
