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 -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
