[Trac] Looking for a resource management plugin

2010-07-23 Thread Itamar O
Hi all,

I'm posting this to the list after browsing th.org and not coming up with a
result.
I might be looking for the wrong keywords,
so maybe someone out there can refer me to better keywords :-)

So, I have 2 use-cases of resource management that seem pretty similar to
me,
and I'm looking for a Trac plugin that does what I want.
1. the resources are a library of ebooks that exists on an
intranet-file-server.
an ebook might be PDF, CHM, or a directory of HTML files.
2. the resources are a collection of application-installs that are
available
to the intranet users, also located on an intranet-file-server.
each install is a directory containing binaries, documentation etc.,
usually multiple versions.

I would like to use Trac to categorize and index those resources in an
associative and searchable manner.
The plugin would index the directories and allow managing metadata for
every resource
(e.g. tags, category  sub-category, license info, version info,
dependencies, relevant links, author, rating, etc.).
Once indexed and fed with metadata (manually), users will be able to browse
the resource library
according to categories / tags / authors / whatever, and also search the
library. naturally, a tagcloud would be nice.
The plugin would also offer direct links to the resources (install file /
ebook) so the user can open it directly from the site.

We are willing to reorganize the resources in order to conform to whatever
the resource-manager expects
(e.g. move from file-server to FTP-server or SVN, flatten the hierarchy,
change the hierarchy, ...).

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Itamar O.

Maybe the DownloadsPlugin does things similar to what you want.
You can have visible fields, like file, description, author,
tags, component, type, etc.
