    I clicked reply to say that very thing. We use KT here at work, is very nice, and we're not the only ones. We'd also looked at Alfresco in the past, but KT won on a number of factors, including ease of use and installation.

  3. Try Knowledgetree by PdbAqB · · Score: 5, Informative · on Business-Suitable Document Authentication System?

    Try Knowledgetree - It's open source, has workflow and it is fully audited: http://www.knowledgetree.com/solutions/industry-solutions We use it in our law firm (I manage it - we are relatively small http://1p.com.au/ and it runs without any specific expertise. I have previously tried other solutions without success. We also really appreciate knowledgetree's ability to interact seamlessly with MSOffice etc. Good luck

  4. Knowledge Tree? by gilesjuk · · Score: 1 · on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents?

    I used an old version a while ago and it was pretty good then. Does versioning and other things.

    http://www.knowledgetree.com/ If you're looking for a no-cost (read as no license fee) option then Knowledge Tree Community Edition is a decent Document Management tool. We've been using it for a couple of years.

  6. Document Management Software and OCR by eldavojohn · · Score: 5, Informative · on Building a Searchable Literature Archive With Keywords?
    I think what you are looking for is something called "document management" software. As far as FOSS goes, KnowledgeTree offers a community version that might be down your alley. They have an online demo if you're interested. There's also Alfresco but I haven't tried either of these.

    From the sound of it, you want to verify that your product supports document tagging (not unlike Slashdot's tagging system I guess) so that he can attach his categories to documents as he puts them in (or more likely as you do the manual labor, right?).

    ... where he could archive the PDFs and scanned documents and be able to search by keywords?

    So, my big concern is the part where you said he scans things from books and articles and so some of the PDFs might just be massive images, right? I don't think you're going to find systems with OCR built in so you might have quite the chore on your hands. If you don't have it electronically or if it's just an image electronically, you may have to implement some sort of process for getting a doc into this system so it can be searched, right? Look into GOCR or Tesseract if this is the case.

    Also, judging by your nickname ("Sooner Boomer"), you're at the University of Oklahoma. Why in the world would you name yourself after a group of people who not only disobeyed the Indian Appropriation Act but also moved out onto Native American territory before it was officially declared property of the United States? And then you also chose "Boomer" which refers to "white settlers who believed the Unassigned Lands were public property and open to anyone for settlement, not just Indian tribes. Their reasoning came from a clause in the Homestead Act of 1862, which said that any settler could claim 160 acres of public land. Some boomers entered and were removed more than once by the United States Army." If you are a descendant of either a Sooner or a Boomer, I respectfully do not agree with their actions.

  7. Re:Knowledge Base by riondluz · · Score: 1 · on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps

    For me, KB is not really a pure category. More of a hybrid that fits somewhere
    between/within a ContentMgmtSys and a DocMgmtSys

    You mention mediawiki, which I feel is quite impressive, as a collaborative CMS.
    If mediawiki is overly-complex then maybe a different one would work better:
    http://twiki.org/
    http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/dokuwiki
    http://moinmo.in/
    http://www.pmwiki.org/

    OTOH, if yo mean a KB that is concerned about DocMgmt, then you probably know that
    many Document Managements Systems, though ofter synonomous with a "Knowledge Base Systems" (KBS), but probably contain better features related to lifecycle management for documents,
      publication workflow and access rights management.

    KnowledgeTree doesn't do everything you want, but it is an easy to use web application that supports plugins (addons).
