Thanks, O, this is a pretty good list.  I'll look them up.  IBM has had several products along the lines of document management now, so I was wondering what the open source world had to offer.

The reason I made my comment is because really, the ultimate end of Samba/NFS/etc. is really not just file sharing but some form of document management.  People might disclaim that, but as shared storage gets larger, this is the problem you end up with.

First, Samba, NFS, OpenAFs, etc are file systems as you know. These are
protocols/utilities
and/or device drivers  for storing, retrieving, and management
(creating, changing, and
deleting) of files in networking environments.

Secondly, if I understand you correctly, you're after document manager.
By this I mean a set of protocols,
applications, and tools that stores and retrieves documents, keeps
records of what, when,
where, who, whatfor, type, etc. about documents.

The first is about storage and retrieval of files, whilst the second is
the storage, retrieval, tracking
(the 5 W's), of documents.

I'm currently using,

trac (www.edgewall.com) + clearsilver(www.clearsilver.net ) +
subversion(subversion.tigris.org) + rapidsvn + Apache
= Integrated Supply Chain & Project Management.

Not the exact fit of your specifications but it comes close to my mind.

If there is something similar or better, I'd be pleased to know. TIA.

Hope this helps.
