I think it's more for website and possibly marketing I think as this would
be for images that are used on the website right now and I noticed someone
requested one of the images that was on the website for some marketing
material

Silverstripe doesn't help organizing files by itself - by default it also
doesn't version files. There's modules that add the possibility to use
versions, but still that would only be exposed to editors by default, not to
regular visitors.

I didn't follow the thread closely, but I think the requirements include
that those versioned copies are also available for regular visitors.

While it is certainly possible to enhance the code to do so, it would be
retrofitting it. And due to the history of bad requirements provided by the
community, it will take long time to create it the way people would like it
:-)

What is easy is to have silverstripe provide a list of links for files in a
folder hierarchy. But there is nothing that would enforce a hierarchy for a
given file, let's say you download and edit file foo from category "writer",
then I'd expect it to go back to category "writer" - but doing that is all
up to the user who does upload the files.

For example I don't know what the problem with alfresco was. Only reason I
remember reading here was that people were more familiar with the other
platform for odfauthors.

Also I don't really know who will be using the "file-storage", and I really
lack a list of stuff that the file-storage should (would be
nice-to-have) and must (absolute requirement) be able to do.

ciao
Christian
