Does anyone here have any experience/recommendations for web-based document management systems?
Ie: a collection of users, each with (secure) access to different sets of individual and shared documents, via a web interface.
I know there are several wheels out there which I could avoid re-inventing, but I don't have any first-hand experience of any of them.

At the moment, we're using Alfresco for that... it's a bit heavy being java, but it does seem to 'just work' most of the time.
Now, if bloody windows webdav support didn't suck quite so much, it'd be much much better.

I'd not heard of Alfresco but I'll set it up and give it go. I'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to Java but it's about time I learned something new!
Looking at the website it's obviously a CMS package as well as document management; will it be straightforward from what you know to provide just the document management stuff to the end user?

There's a lot of things that would be much better if Windows support for them was better!

I've never worked out how to do the CMS side of it... so, erm... but should be fairly straight forward to just get up and running as a DMS.

OK, I'll give it a go.
One more question: I can't find any table of differences between the open source and paid for options - which are you using?

We're definately using the open source version - from what I could tell the main difference is support.

I've been using Knowledge Tree for several years now. It's a bit gnarly to set up user permissions etc, but once running has worked very nicely for my setup. Not sure how it scales for many users rather than a few, but should imagine it would be fine.

I installed KnowledgeTree a while back to play with, but didn't get into it very well. I'll revisit it though, thanks.
