A client of mine seeks a document management system to be run on a Linux machine, and I have no experience in this domain. I am turning to you for help, dear lazyweb, my client will make a donation to a FLOSS project of your choosing in return.
I define document management system as an online file storage for OpenOffice.org/Word documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and pictures. Thus, this is less about content management than about file storage and organisation, aimed at collaboration.
The following are the sought features:
- Security
- Tag support
- Multi-user access control
- Support for bulk up- and downloads.
- Ability to access the repository with WebDAV or SSH, to be able to manipulate files with command-line tools from afar (this is not an Intranet situation)
- A web interface, ideally with AJAX for such tasks as moving and renaming files. Note that this is not a strict requirement if it’s possible to organise the data properly via WebDAV, or similar
Do you know of any tool we could deploy? I did come across BFExplorer, but that seems to lack support for tags, direct data access, bulk uploads, multiuser environment, and it’s not received updates in more than a year.
