Modules
current docs status and an rfc
I've made two alfa releases of the module, more on the way. The module is still in alfa for three main reasons:
- would love more feedback
- more features need to be implemented
- there are known bugs affecting installation edge cases
Currently implemented features
- Directories - implemented based on taxonomy
docs.module in cvs
I uploaded a simple file/document management module. I consider it a pre-beta quality, so you won't get it through the project interface, just cvs. It targets D5 at the moment, but is trivial to port to D6.
There are quite a few more things I want to add to it. Some of them are probably going to end as extension modules.
Why just another module doing something like file management?
- no dependencies outside core
- upload.module might be a hack, but it supports revisions and other goodies
- taxonomy is a good analogy for folders
Modules for DMS
After reading Hariska2@drupal.org's comment about creating a rudimentary DMS module, I was thinking about wanting just such a thing. (It is part of the reason for establishing this group.)
However, much of the functionality already exists. I want to make sure that if I aid in the creation of a new module for document management that that module doesn't totally overlap existing functionality to much. However, there are some pretty significant improvements that I think could be made. I will commence with suggesting the things that already exist and then consider what is missing.
Using Organic Groups to Create Work Sites
This is a proposal on how to use Organic Groups to create work sites for collaboration.
