I looked briefly at the Constellio offering when it was announced
yesterday. The big problem with the offering they released is that
they are licensed under GPL v3. Otherwise we could easily base new
ACF connectors on their code. In fact, I was wondering how exactly
they managed to relicense Apache stuff (Solr and Lucene) as GPL - not
sure that's legal, actually.
The code they refer to is Apache 2.0 license, however, so we could
certainly try to leverage that. But other than that, they don't seem
to have any connectors ACF doesn't already have:
* Google Search Appliance Connector for SharePoint
* Google Search Appliance Connector for Documentum
* Google Search Appliance Connector for Livelink
* Google Search Appliance Connector for FileNet
* Google Search Appliance Connector for File Systemsbeta
* Google Search Appliance Connector for Databasesbeta
They have stuff in their "enterprise lab" that might be of interest:
* Google Search Appliance Connector for Salesforcelab feature
* Google Search Appliance Connector for Noteslab feature
I have no access to Notes or Salesforce to explore connector
implementations for these - does anybody in the field?
