ClearFoundation

Hi

I would like to know if any one experimented any DMS system on clear OS
I'm trying to choose one, but since my experience in linux is not so strong I'm having a bit difficulty.
The purpose of the DMS is mainly for home use, I wish to archive for easy access my documents, documents already in disk and documents I want do digitalize.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I, too, am particularly interested in having a DMS running on ClearOS. I have been looking at Alfresco in particular but am yet to determine the best setup for our business.

At present I seem to think that it would be best to run ClearOS and Alfresco on separate installations which means that there will be no direct integration. It would have been ideal to use ClearOS user authentication rather than have two separate systems.

Has anyone had any success in running anything such as this? Whether it be Alfresco, OpenKM, etc?

Regards,
Brett

Many of my customers use Subversion.
It's one of the biggest and is flexible ado not need any super server to run.
Installation is easy but as you now these type of systems need a lot of work setting up the processes.
For Subversion ther is many good training programs on the net.

I did have it on my old home server and when I get to it I will put it on my new one.

I was about to introduce this topic, but I see it is already presented. Glad to see others seek the same.

I stumbled across this today. SMB-Soft KnowledgeTree Document Management System

They have a Community Edition (like ClearOS), but I have not tried it.

Maybe it's time ClearOS had some kind of DMS module or could seemlessly integrate to such DMS solutions?

I installed Plone CMS following the site´s instructions without a problem. Currently there is no conflict and everything works fine.

Plone is not a DMS is a just a CMS as the name says. ACMS is used to let users add, edit and manage a website
Plone is a good starting point before going into Python, ZPT and Zope.
Beware of the need for resources.
I would use Drupal, easiar to install and better security. You can also look at Alfresco or Joomla.

KnowledgeTree is a really good opensource DMS.

Would be great to see this intergrated into ClearOS.

Alfresco is a document management system. In fact it would be great to get Alfresco on ClearOS. Alfresco isn't just a document management system its more like Sharepoint as Zarafa is to exchange.

Also it does have plugins so Zarafa and Alfresco can communicate in a similar way Exchange and Sharepoint do.

I wouldn't say its similar to plone, drupal or joomla as its much more than that style of CMS. The definition of what a content management system is very blurry if you place Alfresco with the latter three.

Alfresco is a good website content management system but that is not quite the same as a document management system.

A DMS provides all the versioning and document control that a team needs to simultaneously work on sets of documents.

This is what apps like KnowledgeTree are used for.

Thanks Gerry,

I used to work with hummingbird now opentext.com and timematters with worldox.

Indexing is also a hugely important part of a DM.

Maybe have a read of wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Document_Management
