An OpenOffice based Content Management System?

Posted by Cliff on from the opening-your-files-in-a-different-way dept.

bergeron76 asks: "Does anyone know of any OpenOffice based Content Management applications for Unix? I generate a tremendous amount of documents, spreadsheets, etc. and I'd like a way to organize them in a format other than a filesystem. A while back, I used a system called Docs Open. It was basically just a 'File Save [As]' dialog replacement database front-end for saving my document. I was _required_ to enter only meta-data(not the filename) about the document (keywords, description, etc) in order to save it. Conversely, it had a corresponding open-file dialog box that displayed the recent documents (DB records) and a query window for searching. It was a very nice system, and I'm wondering if anything like this exists for open-office or other popular non-Microsoft Office suites. I'm not seeking web-based systems, I'm seeking an integrated OO Plug-in or similar technology."
