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. > For example I don't know what the problem with alfresco was.

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. > 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. 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..).
