+====== Checklist plugin ======
+Write a plugin for an existing Task management system, CRM or ERP.
+See [[Chalkup]] for core project.
+The base of the product:
+  * Backend for CRUD operations on surveys
+    * DB
+    * REST API
+  * Report printing based on my JRServer
+  * Small web app to manipulate checklists and reports
+    * Web UI for CRUD operations
+    * Template designer UI (template is for questionnaire Android)
+    * Report designer UI (report is a PDF based on answers to the questionnaire)
+  * Android app for field workers
+===== Backend =====
+...
+===== Report printing =====
+Here I mean
+  * the JRServer-based backend implementation
+  * minimal "example-UI" which can be changed/extended for a specific implementation

+===== Misc ideas for Checklist plugin =====
+  * Use Open Source software to offer the plugin
+    * Project management
+      * https://www.openproject.org/ (at the moment the best alternative in this category)
+      * https://projectlibre.com/
+        * Open source
+        * Download:
+          * https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/
+      * https://kanboard.org/
+      * https://vikunja.io
+    * Kanban boards:
+      * https://www.reddit.com/answers/37e32b9d-c4ac-4537-9228-6cbdefccdffe/?q=kanban+board+self+hosted&source=SERP&upstreamCID=3d5d12c1-7eed-47a4-887b-aef7d37d21e3&upstreamIID=ed47852f-1b45-4576-8c49-df1259e067d4&upstreamQ=kanban+board+self+hosted&upstreamQID=7be18780-0dc0-45bc-a000-ceccabf392d7
+    * Task management
+    * Field service management
+    * CRM
+    * ERP
+  * Use commercial CRMs / ERPs, which do not have such functionality (checklists, Android app, etc...)
+    * speak with software manufacturers (google for "CRM Haustechniker" or something like this)
+      * https://www.berlicrm.de/
+      * https://hero-software.de/ ?
+  * Use Gurtam products to integrate checklists in them
+    * Check which products can be used for this purpose:
+      * Wialon Logistics
+      * Fleetrun
+      * Hecterra
+      * WiaTag?
+      * NimBus???
+      * others ?
+  * Time tracking software
+    * Kimai ?
+  * Unterweisungssoftware
+    * Checklisten erstellen

+==== Focalboard ====
+Since 15.09.2023 will be "community developed only".
+Citation: "Effective September 15th, 2023, the Focalboard plugin will no longer be bundled with Mattermost and will transition to being fully community supported."
+Focalboard is an open source, multilingual, self-hosted project management tool that's an alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.
+Focalboard comes in three editions:
+  * Focalboard plugin: The Focalboard plugin integrates into an exsting Mattermost instance to combine project management tools with messaging and collaboration for teams of all sizes.
+  * Personal Desktop: A standalone, single-user macOS, Windows, or Linux desktop app for your own todos and personal projects.
+  * Personal Server: A standalone, multi-user server for development and personal use.

+    * => check later of it will be possible to make a plugin (API, docs etc)
