Hi Ryan, I hope I can provide a proposal on the extractor in the next week or so. The idea was to extract metadata before storing content by using the event stuff. I have no idea how to get metadata (or whatever you are interested in) from word or excel documents, but there should be some kind of libraries available for doing this. I'll try to keep the extractor interface easy. So the main task will be to get the infos out of propriatary docs. Regards, Daniel
