I greatly enjoyed yesterday’s co-working session. One of the things I heard is that @audree.morin struggles a lot with the hack that we currently use for organizational information in Groundhogg. I’ve been aware of the problems with that strategy for a while, but I think I was able to more deeply connect with how much distress it causes Audrée. One piece of news that @nplanchon shared is that the Groundhogg Companies plugin has new features that may address some of the needs that we have around storing organizational information. So one of my goals is to review what’s new in the Companies plugin and see how much it may be able to meet those needs.

There is a bit of a domain question here: does this work on managing the documentation, communication, and training around Groundhogg features live in @website-circle or @IT-Circle? On its face it seems like a Website Circle question, but I think we’re starting to treat Groundhogg support as an IT Circle issue. What do you all think?

I’m also happy for news on what people already know about the new Companies plugin.

A related issue exists around how we study, synthesize, and share information about software updates (related to the website in particular, but the issue is actually more general than that). I plan to write about that separately. (I managed the recent round of plugin updates, but I didn’t know they introduced these feature changes to the Companies plugin! I’m excited that Neil has so much energy around understanding our CRM deeply!)
