3/10    Our group is looking for a good system to share internal documents
        etc. We went from just using Outlook (too messy and inflexible) to
        Twiki, which my boss says is too hard to maintain. Any
        recommendations?
        \_ May not be entirely what you're looking for, but have a peek at
           PHProjekt.  Good for small to mid-size companies and does a lot
           of groupware-type stuff.   I set it up for a client and they love
           it.  -John
        \_ have you considered WebDAV?
           \_ isn't this basically just a protocol? I think the OP is
              looking for some type of "collaborative document sharing"
              system type thing... of which there are many, I just don't
              know the names.
              \_ yeah, that's what I'm looking for. At least now I'll know
                 what to google for... but I'd still like to hear if anyone
                 has recommendations. -op
                 \_ Documentum writes software specifically to address this
                    sort of issue.  It's pretty decent software, but then,
                    it's been four or five years since I've worked there,
                    so I have no idea where they're at these days.      -mice
        \_ I was (and still am) looking for the same thing.  I thought
           what I need is a content-management system.  I have looked
           Twiki / wiki, openCMS, cardboard, and now actually leaning
           toward full-blown php-nuke.  I guess I am not even in the
           right track.
        \_ You need something more than a world writable directory and some
           intelligently named sub-dirs?
        \_ We use cvs at work. People can check stuff in and out etc. With
           the cvs web cgi stuff you can even browse old versions and stuff.
           Its not that hard for you to setup a little checkin web form for
           the PHBs.
           \_ Um, twiki is relatively friendly web based system based on RCS.
              If they can't handle twiki, they definitely can't handle cvs
              plus a couple submit scripts cobbled together by yermom.
                \_ He said twiki was hard to maintain not hard to use.
                   CVS + a couple of web scripts might be easier to maintain
                   for them. If the use Mac or Windows, there are also
                   native GUI cvs clients that might make it easier as
                   well.
