KnowledgeTree open source document management

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago - 4 comments

Discovered via http:///del.icio.us/popular: KnowledgeTree OpenSource Document Management.

KnowledgeTree™ is one of the most rapidly-adopted open source document management systems, with downloads currently running at several thousands per month (7800 in November 2004). It was originally developed for the South African Medical Research Council; so it has all the code quality, functionality and architectural rigour that you would expect of a top-of-the-range enterprise application. The only thing it misses is the million-dollar price tag: being Open Source, it’s licence cost free. The product includes advanced document version control, full text search capabilities, multiple search types and extensible metadata fields for documents. Some of the more advanced functionality includes a customizable dashboard and workflow for document authoring.

I should install this and play around with it, and test its functionality.

    Hey,

    Did you try KnowledgeTree out? What did you think? I’m the lead developer/product manager, working for the people who started KnowledgeTree, so any feedback would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Neil

    Which is the difference between a CMS and a DMS?

    There’s definitely some overlap between the two…
