I think I missed the conversation about having a Plone trial, can someone point me to that conversation. I have heard great things about Plone, very powerful and fast content management framework, but as I understand it there is a lot of custom coding involved. Did the original conversation about Plone discuss how we would implement the workflow? Having the discussions with Jean early on regarding the infrastructure, I was under the understanding that the instance of Plone setup on OOoAuthors did not have a structured workflow, but rather folders with permissions. The discussions we have had so far is pointing towards structured cross-language collaboration, so as we have discussed previously, the tooling should meet the workflow needs rather than the other way around. I am very keen to see Alfresco up and running, as we have discussed a few times. The Alfresco framework ties in very well with Drupal and together they provide an incredibly powerful document management system. I think someone pointed out the limitation of cross-language collaboration (I might be wrong here, I have not personally had experience with Alfresco in a multi-language environment). Also, might I suggest that we refrain from using the TDF servers as a testing ground as this may lead to a misconception that we have decided on using the tool for the documentation workflow. The intermediate workflow, on the wiki, as discussed seems to be working quite well at the moment, albeit without permissions.
