I gave the first look at the Zurmo. For what i see until now the application seems useful and has potential.

Although, I would like to suggest the following:

• In the process of installation i think that in the "Failed Required/Optional Services" should have some tooltips or mouse over messages that could indicate a solution. That could be useful for novices or inexperienced users.
• The passwords are stored in the database as md5 hashes, right? This is just my opinion but i think you should store the passwords as sha2 hashes with salt.
• The calendar in the dashboard should give the opportunity to schedule meetings when i click in a day
• If someone would like disable the badge system, that should be possible.
• it would be interesting if the application would had a chat system for the logged in users

Great ideas. Some of these we already have planned and will take others into consideration. Thanks.

I would add to the list the option to install on Nginx. Right now installation routine checks only for Apache and Microsoft-IIS and fails if they are not present. Nginx recently became second most popular web server bypassing Microsoft-IIS. If Facebook, Netflix and WordPress run on Nginx, why Zurmo can not?

Sounds like a good idea, but we would need to allocate some resources to make Zurmo work on Nginx as well as having a test server available for our Continuous Integration environment. Perhaps you can help with this?

Our company is switching to Nginx and we also have an outside developer who is currently working on a project which is based on Yii and Zurmo modules.
Once this project is completed I shall be able to share the experience.
For now I was able to install and successfully run Zurmo demo app on Nginx after following your advice in parallel topic.

Ok.
