We've had the time to evaluate Alfresco, but not the incentive. I'm trying to catch up now. Having the possibility of TDF hosting is a big plus for me, so thanks for chasing that. One annoying thing to me is that I have not seen an easy and convenient way to link directly to a folder or a file in Alfresco, so I can send that link to, say, Hazel, and say "Here's a file that needs editing" or "The files are in this folder." If there is a way to link directly, please tell me. More questions coming, I'm sure.
