I'm seeking for wisdom to improve the usefullness and functionality of the TWiki's MessageBoardPlugin, and would love to read about improvements that the Perl Monks consider useful.

As an additional guideline, allow me try to explain what I had in mind when started to write this Plugin.

Integral Sistemas, the company I work for, had a Message Board page where the employees post and read messages like "I'll leave my desk this afternoon for a field work and return tomorrow." or "I'm on the near city visiting our client X" and so on.

When I come to the company, the page sucks. It was crappy, no organization at all, buggy, no authentication, no user verification, no security, no availability for employees outside the company building.

I started building this plugin as a simple replacement, and tought "why not integrate to TWiki excellent Wiki Wiki implementation?" and here it is.

Now, I need to know what shall I improve to make it better (and maybe usefull for other companies, or organizations). I would love to read about your suggestions.

Thank you very much for help.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
