We are looking at various options for common hub where we would wish to publish common business intelligence reports for sharing and providing easier access for information available along with metadata. We do have Microstrategy and Tableu as our enterprise reporting tools but lacking metadata linking to those reports. So we wish to have that link provided through a common hub area where users can explore and understand various information areas themselves to ultimately make it enterprise wide information repository rather than just a reporting application.
We are looking at several other options along with joomla. We understand that joomla is majorly a content management system for websites. But we wish to know your opinion on usage of joomla with probably customized admin console for sharing reports and linking. We currently do not know if it is right way to use so. If any of your organizations follow any easier approach for solving the issue, please suggest us the same. Also if possible, please provide us links on similar use cases along with any examples of customizing joomla admin console.
Thanks.
I'd use GroupJive the manage communication between groups of users. Groupjive has a wall where links can be posted, is forum (kunena) integrated and has a feature to upload documents.
The access rights for each group is configurable on groupjive, so you can restrict access to some information to some users and define moderators.
Hope it helps!

If using Joomla .. you could try to build described functionality using ZOO, a flexible and powerful content application builder to manage your content http://www.yootheme.com/zoo

I want to practice performance testing at home using loadrunner or ibm rational performance tester or jmeter. But for this i need an application on which i can perform testing. Can anyone suggest me such dummy web application on which can do performance testing at home using above tools?
As far as I know, LoadRunner comes with Web Tour Sample Application
For JMeter or Rational Performance Testing evaluation I would suggest to:
Choose any free CMS, E-learning, or E-commerce product i.e.:
Drupal
Moodle
Magento
Install it somewhere in your local intranet
Get hands-on practice with one of the popular solutions which may be useful in the future.
If possible, install the application you're testing on the separate physical or virtual machine, this way you can learn how to collect and analyze server-side performance metrics as they matter.
Dmitri noted that the commercial tools tend to have available a demo environment used as a part of sales demos and training for just this type of education. These demo apps are great for a controlled environment to teach the mechanical concepts on how to use the tools. Beyond that, you want something more, ....real....
Download and install at your home any open source application. SugarCRM is a good one for this type of education. There are plenty of challenges in the app to keep you busy and it will exercise most capabilities in performance testing tools.
When you feel up to it, there is a challenge you will want to try,
http://www.myloadtest.com/training/correlation-challenge/
This is a single user exercise for ensuring that you get a script working. Please do not performance test Stuart's website without explicit written permission or this becomes an undesired denial of services action.
If you are going to use LoadRunner, then by defalut you will get a dummy application provided by HP called - WebToursApplication
Recently I found another dummy banking application by HP called - ZeroBank
Please find the link to this application

Login details are

password:password
Hope you got what you are looking for.
So Happy Testing.
In looking around, I found:
*Ability to run tests on load generators on Amazon EC2 Cloud
on
http://community.hpe.com/t5/LoadRunner-Information-and-News/LoadRunner-12-00-Released/td-p/6419972
Here is the Amazon EC2 Cloud Service:

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it helps.

Please recommend a scrum/agile project management tool. First, it should be able to be installed or deployed on my local computer. Additionally, it should be free, no need for complete unlimited usage, just that it can support 5 users and some scrum project functions, such as "kanban".
I found some answers of other questions like mine. Some of the tools which have been recommended are too old, so please recommend newer tools for me. And if it has a nice look that would be better, something like scrumwise or targetprocess.
Must haves:
local applications
free
kanban
I would suggest using Eylean board as it is the most visual scrum board compared to the competitors. And according to scrum you need to have a visible and transparent process inside your team. Also this software allows mixing other methodologies as well.
It is free of charge for personal use.
Given that you're wanting a local application, I'm assuming that your team is all located in the same place.
If so, I'd advise against using tools. As the agile manifesto says: "We value Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools". I'd urge you to consider co-locating your team(s), improving communication, using cards, physical boards and information radiators.
Hope that helps.
Try Yodiz, you can have up to 3 free users and it's one of the most intuitive with amazing UX. Every month they add more features to their platform. A few of the important features they have are following.
Collaboration Tools (Chat, Discussion, in-line comments)
Board, they have slick boards to manage your user stories and tasks.
User story management is as easy as it gets. Awesome backlog with priority and filtering
features.
Import/Export data to or from Jira, Pivotal and many other systems.
Three (3) free users with full features.
Report, they have detailed reporting, that makes progress and time tracking so easy.
Over all it's great tool. It's worth to give it a try.

This seems like it meets your requirements. There are other possibilities if you will accept a hosted solution rather than a local install.

I looked through the existing questions of this kind but didn't find what I was looking for so here goes.
I need an open source framework where people can...
Create user accounts
Invite friends
Have a friends list
Write messages to each other (some kind of inbox system)
Create posts on a standard message forum
Facebook login (Added, I forgot this in the original question)
On top of this I will create some kind of game where users interact, so it must be posibble to extend the framework with new database tables and functionality.
The platform is Windows, but other than that I'm willing to try pretty much anything.
Thanks for suggestions!
It sounds like Pinax might have all/most of the functionality you need. Pinax is an open source project aiming to provide a generic but extensible community web site on top of Django.
I believe it has the features you are asking for:
user-to-user messaging
friend invitation (both internal and external to the site)
threaded discussions
Besides these features, the platform comes with tons of other applications out-of-the-box, and there really are no limitations on what you can add on-top yourself.
While most Django lovers would probably choose a non-Windows platform for hosting their site, the official documentation does contain instructions on how to install on Windows as well.
I haven't use it, but check out elgg.org. Here is what it says about itself:
Elgg is free and open source software.
It provides the components you need to
build a fully-featured social
environment...
Also take a peek at opensocial.org.
If you don't want the hassles of maintaining yourplatform, but just want to create a social network and add a few extensions, you might be able to use one of the existing social networking platforms like ning.
Lovdbyless is an open source ruby on rails one. Well written and easy to customize for yourself. http://lovdbyless.com/
I know you can implement all that stuff with Drupal, as I've done it. That might be a bit heavier than you are looking for, though.

I am looking for some tool that would help me prototype basic website structure and logistics (or simply user interface).
It should be extremely efficient in the matter of time needed to do simple changes like changing position of objects on the page. It should provide features for creating multiple pages and linking them together.
I don't need visual aspect of the thing, just the basic structure, placement of objects and logistics.
I prefer offline, free or open source solution.
Try Mockingbird, it's mainly used for user interface prototypes, but you can easily use it for flowcharts / structure diagrams etc.
Best of all it's free!
Try Balsamiq Mockups, it's excellent and quite inexpensive. Or, Microsoft's Sketchflow is great for building interactive prototypes.
In no particular order:
Sketchflow, part of Expression Blend 3
Balsamiq
Mockingbird
Axure
"I prefer offline, free or open source solution."
Then Pencil is what you need!
I've tried iPlotz recently which is an online wireframing tool and I've been impressed.
I highly recommend Mockplus Cloud.
Mockplus is a desktop-based tool for prototyping mobile, web, and apps. You are able to create interactions with simple drag-and-drop. Besides，your teamwork will be time-efficient with the collaboration feature.
The admins are always online and can solve your problems in minutes if you have any. You can learn about design and get design inspirations and resources in this group.
What’s more, this group offers many benefits to its members only.
If you join the Mockplus and the admin will offer you 40% off coupons and free UI Kits & Fonts Package. Besides, you will get life-time free tech support on Mockplus even if you are not a paid user now.
If you are looking for a place to communicate with others about product and UX/UI design, and also get a great rapid prototyping tool with saving a big budget.

Does anyone know of any software or a good way for developers to build up a knowledge base of business rules that are built in to the software for help desk to use?
We already have a helpdesk software but we are not looking to replace this.
A wiki is definitely the way to go. Processes change, sometimes frequently, and in a fast-paced environment like a help desk a tool that allows quick, easy access and management of that type of content is extremely important to allow people to do their jobs effectively.
One of the greatest benefits I've found is the heiarchical sturcture of many wikis, allowing employees to find the correct content from a number of different customer angles.
Can you be more specific?
This may fall under "policies and procedures" management software. Here are some:
http://www.softscout.com/software/Human-Resources/Policy-and-Procedures.html
I'd like to find one that's more wiki-like or easier to integrate into a a website serving as a more general company knowlege base.
I would recommend a wiki wiht a "Wiki Gardener" role- someone who cleans up the duplicate entries and sorts.
Wiki technology with a Rich Text Editor option would useful if your Support Desk are not totally technical.
Having some structure is imperative, developing something in any Wiki that makes sense to the general editing populace, and has a low threshold to get from reading to editing. You will also possibly need a migration strategy for taking hundereds of little notes into something more readable and searchable.
