1File Manager+ the app is working well
+ is well integrated on Flamingo
+ you have a lot of options (you can rename an attachemnt - that is a must-have for attachments and in our wiki as default we don't have this option)
+ very easy to use
- add a sort option for the "type" of an attachment http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/FILEMAN Working ok, needs minor fixes   Productivity
2Polls Application+ the app design is fitting with Flamingo
+ maybe is older than XPoll Application, but is way better for users and for their their expectations (XPoll is too simple and has not too many options)
+ is working very well on our supported browsers
+ the complexity of polls (you can choose what kind of polls you want to have)
+ complexity of options (the user is able to see charts with answers for a better view)
- some subtle modifications (to adapt some buttons to Flamingo, to translate some fields names, to aligned some options)http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XPOLLAPP Working ok, needs minor fixes   Collaborative/ Communication, Productivity
3Mocca Calendar+ the app design is fitting with Flamingo and it’s well displayed on Colibri, too
+ the user can work very well with this calendar, it’s simple and has classic implemented classic requirements for a calendar
+ you can easily create events, to have a view about upcoming events, about actual events (per months, week)
- need to polish some minor elements (for example: the livetable from “Overview all calendars” with “Create a new calendar” option etc. or centralize the text on buttons)
- table borders on a calendar (on Flamingo)
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MOCCACAL Working ok, needs minor fixes   Productivity, Business
4Ideas+ is fitting with Colibri
+ is working ok and it's not a complicated app
+ is easy to see which ideas are supported and which ideas are not supported by many users
- is not fitting with Flamingo (you are not able to well see the pro an con buttons)
- doesn't have a description on its homepage (it's made with AWM and a description is a must have)
- need to notice on description that the currency for estimated cost is "euro"
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/IDEAS Working ok, needs minor fixes  Productivity, Collaborative/Communication
5Forum Application+ the app has a design which is fitting with Flamingo
+ the app can be easily used
+ the user is able to share an answer on a social media channel
+ the app is working ok overall
- is not totally customized for Flamingo skin (on 6.2 the livetable is not well displayed on Firefox 32)
- users default icons are displayed as broken on Flamingo (for an user who hasn’t set an icon)
- the images for voting a topic, or displayed total topics/answers are not fully displayed
- some options are not working (for i.e.: the flag images is redirecting user to an empty page)
- you are not able to add images in a comment, or macros or links, or table
- unconsistent editor (both Text and WYSIWYG are used)
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAFORUM Working ok, needs minor fixes  Collaborative/Communication
6Task Manager+ is working ok on both skins
+ a minimalist app, very easy to use
- some fields ("Reporter", "Task number") from livetable are missing when you add or edit a task, so this thing can be consider a blocker
- doesn't have a description on its homepage (it's made with AWM and a description is a must have)
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/TASKMAN Working almost ok, needs some fixes   Productivity, Business
7Holiday Request Application+ the design is ok, no view problems on Flamingo
+ you are able to create a new holiday request and to cancel it
+ very easy to use and very useful for users
+ offers a great view for holiday requests
+ has integrated an “Overview”, so the Admin team are able to see the holidays remain for each users
+ has integrated a “Calendar”
- even the “Office” field is listed on livetable and in entry details, when you create a new entry, you are not able to see a field called “Office”
- need to fix some minor things fo fix (for example: a "$" special character when you haven’t selected a manager)
- a few subtle modifications (polish the buttons for a better view)
- the "Overview" is not working well (both design of table and remaining days calculator)
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/HOLIDAYREQ Working almost ok, needs some fixes   Productivity, Collaborative
8Recruitment Application+ its design is ok, not something special, but it’s working ok on Flamingo
+ you are able to create a new page for a candidate
+ it’s an app created with AWM, users are used with the AWM apps
- has two entries on Applications panel (one for “RecruitmentApp” and one for “Job Area”)
- some fields from “Personal Information” are not aligned
- the fields are like in a table
- “Job Area” page has AWM as parent, it would be great to have "Recruitment Application" as parent 
Working almost ok, needs some fixes   Productivity, Collaborative
9Meeting Application+ overall is working ok
- is not working to send e-mails to participants
- needs some improvements for fitting with Flamingo
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAMEETINGS Working almost ok, needs some fixes   Business, Communication/Collaborative
10Generic Project Management Application+ has a simple intefarce
+ easy to use
+ has a complexity (projects, subprojects, tasks, documents)
- is not well displayed on Flamingo (this is a blocker, XAPM-22) http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAPM Working almost ok, needs some fixes   Business, Collaborative
11FAQ Application+ a lot of companies has FAQ apps both for internal and external use
+ no special needs/ requests for new implementations (it’s working ok for a minimal FAQ app and for daily use)
+ is working ok on both skins
- little improvements for fitting 100% with Flamingo
- a basic FAQ
- no "Actions" field in the livetable (if you add a question you are not able to delete it)
- "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are an easy way..." or "FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is an easy way..."
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI/component/11840 Working almost ok, needs a lot of fixes  Communication/Collaborative
12Diagram Application+ is working well
+ has a simple design and it’s made with AWM
+ the diagram creator is simple to use
+ a lot of diagram elements (an user can create a complex and a very good looking diagram)
+ you are able to add a lot of elements from different categories
- the options name (the letter from options name) are not fully displayed
- not all options are optimized for Flamingo (i.e.: selecting a color)
- on view mode, if you have a lot of elements on a diagram, you are able to move them and it’s not really an expected behaviour
- some icons are not displayed (in this case Clipart images, I consider this a blocker)
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XADIAGRAM Working almost ok, needs a lot of fixes  Business, Productivity
13Expense Report Application+ the app is working well
+ is fitting pretty much with Flamingo
+ has a plus, because it has an export option which help users to export their Reports (has a template for export)
+ has an ample view about expense reports (the livetable, you can sort your information, you can easily search for a some entries etc.)
- “Add a new expense report” needs a button, because now is just a simple name with a link
- “Organizations” doesn’t have “Export Report” as parent
- “Teams” page has AWM as parent 
- the livetable (the one from the Expense Report form) is not fitting with its background
- needs just some modifications to perfectly fit with Flamingo (the livetable is not fitting at all)
- payment date (you see just the month and year when you add an report)
- need to find an easy way to add a logo on "Exnpense Report" pdf
 http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XEXPENSE Working almost ok, needs a lot of fixes  Business, Productivity
