I had not seen alfresco. A quick look suggests that Alfresco is a more general purpose content management software. dspace and invenio are more specific in nature: they are designed to build digital collections for libraries. They are also specifically designed for academic libraries. It is of course possible that Alfresco does that job just as well. I would be terribly interested in seeing how you have implemented alfresco, and what all do you do with it. > > I take it that you are based in Delhi.
