We just got a demo of LiveLink, a document manager system.  They have an Intranet module wich is REALLY like the Zope one.  In fact, it's almost de same!  I found a number of similar functionalities between them, but there is a couple of features in LiveLink wich I found interesting:

- If a user upload a document, the programmer can use it directly.  There are automatics converters for many formats: PDF to HTML, Excel to HTML, Word to HTML, Word to PDF, etc.  You can develop your own converters if tou want.

        Example:  Someone upload a report in Excel.  In your website, you can put a link to a PDF version, or show it in HTML automatically! 

- When a user is logged, he sees only the documents he can manage!  Much simpler interface!

- The interface is internalionalized.

So, I guest my questions are:

        - Any plan for a Zope interface internationalisation ?  I know, we could translate the interface ourself, but we want to upgrade sometimes...

        - Any plan for "converters" ?  I think it would be fairly easy, no? 

        - Could hiding unauthorized objects been possible?  I  know that I can manage that in DTML, but I mean in the default management interface?

Any thoughs?
