The less we need to develop in-house, the better.

I agree: That setup might put too much responsibility on the user. If
there's no 'sync my files' button or 'git commit -a', then it's going
to be hard for us to keep our repository tidy and organized.

I haven't used silverstripe or alfresco. If someone wants to give me
some credentials to an existing install (user: qubit), I'd be happy to
poke around and learn more about their interaction and workflows.

Here's my first draft:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Qubit/Repository_for_non-code_assets#Feature_comparisons

Please feel free to make comments or update notes on that page. I'd
especially like someone familiar with Silverstripe to fill in
information.

After assembling that monster table, I found it interesting how well
MediaWiki stacked up. MediaWiki provides a solid list of our desired
features, and provides the best support for metadata and license
management of any of the tools I've tested. The biggest feature that
it's missing is tools for batch management (import, download, etc..).

Cheers,
