You may wish to take a look at Case Duncan's Document Library product at http://www.zope.org/Members/Kaivo/DocumentLibrary . It does not plug in to Documentum, but it provides the features you've named. I'm sure Casey would appreciate it if you took up the cause of extending it as well. ;-)
HTH,
thanks, this certainly looks very interesting! especially the part where it indexes .doc files and such :-)) this product might just be 90% of what I need.. ! I will take a good look at it tonight..
Because it also seems to fit some of my needs I just try to build a Debian package from it to get it cleanly included into my system. I've got the package builded and do some testing now. The first thing which I observed that there is no kind of "Framework" I would like to see, which has links to "submit" or "review" documents. If I view the intsance of my newly created I just see a search page. But there is nothing to search in the first run ... Just looking through ZMI I found the document_submit method which seemed to perfect to submit new files. But a new hurdle cames up: The list of the (required!) Type field is empty - so I was not able to upload a new document. Trying to get behind I browsed the source of the document_submit method and found out that I might be successfull if I ship a type parameter in the URL. Thus I called .../document_submit?type=text which did not filled in the selection list - but at least enabled me to upload a file. Anyway this is a quite dirty trick and for normal users inacceptable. But now it commes to the review. After uploading my first document I've got: Your document "export.txt" was submitted sucessfully. Your document will be reviewed and will become available in the library when it is approved. Now I'm giving up and try to ask here because I think I must do something wrong here. Is there any "Getting Started with Document Library" which would help me (and the users of the future Debian package) to get the thing up and running? Kind regards Andreas.
