Merlin on a web browser

The other day we received the following question in support:

We are testing Merlin for project management on the Mac and are very interested to use your solution but there is one functionality which seems to be not covered in the web access; we are not able to add elements (risk, issue, or files)

That’s correct. Merlin in the web module allows users working on other platforms to collaborate on Merlin files using a web browser*. It is not just another implementation of the Merlin Mac OS X application for the web.
While behaving similarly to the native Merlin application, its functionality and graphical user interface  is deliberately minimalized** to insure better usability from web users not having deeper Merlin knowledge.

*) Supported web browser: IE7, IE8 in compatibility mode, Safari 4, Firefox 3

**) All differences between Merlin on Mac OS X and in the Web module: here

  1. A bit of a shame really and not the best of justifications. This feature is enabled in the iPhone App and the product would be much enhanced by adding it to the web access.

  2. Yes, I know. We’re currently investigating the available toolkits for web development before we extend the current solution. The iPhone App on the other side did have a clearly defined SDK, so development for that is a bit straightforward.
