The outline designer allows admins to add content to books in a fast, effective, and far more usable way then the current "add book page" method provided. Kyle Mathews added a sub-module in outline designer 1.2 which integrates the module with organic groups, allowing group admins to utilize the functionality in his eduglu distribution. I think Open Atrium could benefit greatly from Outline Designer and recommend you consider it to enhance the usability of Notebook.

We use OA for both internal stuff as well as setting it up for organizations and businesses. Many laymen users have a really hard time understanding the organization of book pages and drag and drop would make this much easier.

Organizing structure is so much easier this way.

This would be a useful addition as books can be difficult to deal with.

+1 for this.

Echoing comment #1, a better UI for book pages would make it much easier for clients to interact with the content.

I will up be releasing version 1.3 today which allows for role based setting of the context menu's items as well as opening up outlining capabilities to non-admin roles.

Cool. Can this be used simply as a contrib module in conjunction with OA? Any caveats or integration issues to be aware of?

Should just plug in unless something's changed. I don't believe eduglu is doing anything special to have it function in a similar manner. There is a sub module to the project that integrates it with organic groups so it should be a drop it in and the functionality "just works"

We also use Outline Designer with Open Atrium and it is a big hit with our users.

Only downside is every change to page order is sent to the recent activity view/feature in OA
