Hi Piotr, It sounds very interesting, very practical and something I would definitively love to see added to Mayan. The problem is in that the implementation details are a big mystery to me. If Sharepoint and MS Office are using something like WebDav or CMIS, then it could be possible to add this. I guess the first step is learning how Sharepoint is doing what it does and if it is doing it in a non proprietary manner.
The other method you mentioned has been discussed before (using http://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog) and while technically challenging could be implemented as a vendor, platform and software agnostic solution. One of the items for the next release is decoupling filesystem sharing from the document indexing app, which could help pave the way to make this a reality. >> Another question: Is there a way to automatically number documents (e.g. metadata field with concurrent numbers for specific document type) Like a counter? Or a custom, user defined ID field via a Python expression? Example use case to get a better idea what/how to add it. --Roberto On Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:37:27 PM UTC-4, Piotr Kaczyński wrote: > > Hi, > > Is there a plan to add sharepoint-like integration for office 2013 > documents?
