I think I missed the conversation about having a Plone trial, can
someone point me to that conversation.
I have heard great things about Plone, very powerful and fast content
management framework, but as I understand it there is a lot of custom
coding involved.
Did the original conversation about Plone discuss how we would
implement the workflow?
Having the discussions with Jean early on regarding the
infrastructure, I was under the understanding that the instance of
Plone setup on OOoAuthors did not have a structured workflow, but
rather folders with permissions.
The discussions we have had so far is pointing towards structured
cross-language collaboration, so as we have discussed previously, the
tooling should meet the workflow needs rather than the other way
around.
I am very keen to see Alfresco up and running, as we have discussed a
few times. The Alfresco framework ties in very well with Drupal and
together they provide an incredibly powerful document management
system. I think someone pointed out the limitation of cross-language
collaboration (I might be wrong here, I have not personally had
experience with Alfresco in a multi-language environment).
Also, might I suggest that we refrain from using the TDF servers as a
testing ground as this may lead to a misconception that we have
decided on using the tool for the documentation workflow. The
intermediate workflow, on the wiki, as discussed seems to be working
quite well at the moment, albeit without permissions.
Thanks,
