[Web4lib] Document Management Systems?

[Bill Hudson]

Take a look at Deki(wiki) (www.mindtouch.com). We deployed it several months
ago and our users find it extremely easy to use to create content. It uses
lucene to search not only the pages, but attached documents including Word,
Excel and I believe PDFs. Beyond being a simple wiki, it allows the average
user to easily create mashups using video, google spreadsheets, rss feeds,
maps, etc. If you have VMware's free virtual server, you can download it as
a virtual machine and try it out in less than a half hour.

> Here is our list to explore so far. I'm wondering if anyone
