Yes, the current state of http://media.libreoffice.org:8081/ is just a starting point. If you clearly define what you'd like to see there, and if documents contain a matching set of meta tags containing that info, the info display can be tailored to pretty much whatever you want. > Is it possible to reorder the files within any one folder so that all > the ODTs are together and all the PDFs are together, instead of > sorting by filename (which causes the files to alternate ODT and PDF > -- confusing to those who don't pay close attention.

On http://alfresco.libreoffice.org, the answer is already "Yes". If you drop down the list at the top of the repository index (which will currently be showing "Name") then you can choose the sort criterion for the listing. On http://media.libreoffice.org:8081/, this is certainly do-able and I'd just need to get back to Jeff Potts with a coherent and comprehensible set of requests and requirements.

Of course, if you find it easier to use different file names for different versions of a given document then it's perfectly feasible. You'll have read my comments in other posts about this (as regards de-duplication, meta tags and versioning), but - ultimately - Alfresco is mostly able to wrap around the way *you* want to work, and the number of concessions you are obliged to make is pretty minimal... We would only have to arrive at a clear, comprehensive and comprehensible set of specifications, and then things can be set-up pretty much any way the team wants. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
