[olug] Document repository

[Craig Wolf]

Rod, the problem now is IF someone has documentation, you are not able to find anyone's but yours...maybe.  We need to consolidate it and make it searchable, correct.  With everything else right now, just a little overwhelmed and this gets dropped on my plate AS WELL.  We need it, don't get me wrong...I would rather have something OTHER than Sharepoint to say the least.  I don't need anymore MS apps here that they (MS) will screw me on at some point in the future.

Craiger,
You are wanting to be able to profile these documents for content searchability, right?  Otherwise they are just dumping grounds; glorified file servers.  That is usually the sticking point.  (How efficiently they can profile the documents, and their search quality/speed.)

Some of the ones we looked at were more document libraries that organize by file type/name/date/ etc just like a standard search.  When you needed to dig out files based on hits within the content, they would come crashing down like a house of cards.  This is assuming that you have an enterprise level of documents to store.  I would say we have 2-300k documents in ours.  

Good luck.

Rod

For a Content Managment System, at we use Alfresco (http://www.alfresco.com/
).

It allows for different groups of people to have restricted views, we
(ab)use it as a glorified web-enabled FTP site for our customers.

As that is my only use, I can't speak to how well it performs CMS duties.
