      Was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on web portals for an OC? Primarily this is for co-ordinating tasks and events for an Exec Committee (i.e assign and track tasks). If at all possible, I’d like to include discussion areas for all owners as well as the EC, as well as sharing files, information, notices, etc.

      We have strata managers, but the secure site they have for owners is very limited and does not have the features I’m looking for.

      We’re only a small SP – 10 units – and I’m not sure there will be much motivation to spend much money on this. I’m trying to make mine and my fellow EC members’ lives a bit easier than trying to have everything individually tracked via e-mail (it really needs to be collaborative so the management of the info doesn’t just fall to one member). Having a spreadsheet will not be adequate, I don’t think.

      I’ve looked at BigTent and Wiggio (US based group websites) and have only looked a little at housenet.com.au. I’d love to hear from anyone with real experience with these or other solutions. I could self-host, but I’d rather not be that “indispensable” to the solution unless it’s the only viable option for us.

      Thanks

        Not exactly what you are looking for but it’s free.

        Try using the calendar in your mail, and if that works you can then create another account with Yahoo or Gmail solely for the Strata. These calendars can be shared with view or change permissions so that everyone can see what is scheduled but only those with permissions can make changes. Must admit you cannot store documents in the calendar but you could use the mail side of it to store documents their.

        I am not sure how you go about getting it or whether it costs money.

        Our strata uses a site called MyCommunity.  you have access to the General Ledger, outstanding accounts, minutes or meetings, there a notice board.

         

        I think your strata would probably need specific software to use it.  But for us it is great.

          Thanks, Missy, I’d seen that one but it has features I didn’t want (financial ones) and I think it would require changes at our strata managers which at this stage I’m not wanting to suggest/impose.

          i have (since posting) started looking at GeniePad, which looks pretty good, but is Canadian, so I’m going to try and find out if they have any Australian customers.
