Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Saybit-Science is an installation profile that sets up a basic intranet for collaborative documentation of research activities and data curation in science organizations. It could be used in academic research labs or companies that do research.

Saybit-Science fas the following features:
1) Content Types: Project, data-store, document, and discussion. The content is linked together in a hierarchical organization using a specialized version of node relativity.

2) Flags: To bookmark and set the status of content.

3) Notifications: Users are sent node and comment updates. The team UI allows team members to 'CC' others on updates to keep everyone informed.

4) Roles: There are roles for more limited access to create content (Experimenter) and full content creation permission (Project Manager). There is also a Site Administrator role with broad functional access.

5) 'Teammates': Userreference_nodeaccess field allowing team members to give edit/delete grants to other users for selected content. This allows to create teams with access to certain documents.

6) Dashboard: Homebox dashboard containing useful views: a) content creation, b) user active projects, c) user active data-stores, d) latest updated content, d) last updated node. These views each select content that is of interest to the current user--creator, owner (cck userreferece field), 'teammate', or notifications subscriber

We are always working on new features. Completed features not in the basic distribution are:
1) apachesolr_search feature with facetbuilder and facets for the included flags
2) an email integration feature using mailhandler and mailcomment

Features in the works include:
1) a full-fledged CRM feature for Drupal
2) research-subject management to track experimental subjects and tie them to Projects
3) a data feed importer to have relational database curation of raw data. This will include a data dictionary function to allow easy sharing of data with other investigators.
