Groove Third Party Tools

[chammock]

I used Groove from 2002-2005 and the highest version I got to was 2.54. I
just decided to start using Live Groove 2007 on some projects for team
collaboration.

I see that some tools in the old version are gone. Are third party
developers providing any neat PM tools for Live Groove 2007 yet? If so, what
websites can I visit to see what is out there. Just doing a web search is not
yielding much info.

Thanks.

TeamDirection Project and Dashboard in Groove up to 3.1)

Ruediger, thanks for the info. I downloaded the Free Task thing for 2007 to
check it out.

Any others want to chime in and let me know about their Live Groove 2007
tools.

Hi guys

dumb question
i never got into the Live Groove experience as i understand it
(groove running off an MS server / as a service ?
am i missing something here - or is this a pricing offering not a diff
product ?)

so are these tool developed specially for this offering
or do our normal (GWS/.NET) tools work with Live Groove
i ask because i have some goodies to release but did not factor in Live Groove

Hi Ashok -

Office Live Groove is Groove + hosted server offering for $79 a year.
Functionally it is exactly the same as the old Groove hosted offering with
the kind of pricing we always asked for.

I just wish there were some published statistics about the reliability and
current status of the relay servers.

thanks Mark
thought so
but then where is the PoPG like offering that was to be avbl off the web - a
pay as you use experience - your groove acnt online from anywhere - def read
something about this shift to groove (applications) as a service

etc
