Fuji Xerox Australia is trying to get this released on Linux, the present versions don't run on Linux. They run on Windows IIS, or Sparc Solaris using apache or Netscape Enterprise Server. Producing a Linux version should be trivial for them (just don't expect them to supply the source code as GPL :p) though Solaris versions and patch levels of software are more version consistent across the board than Linux counterparts. Things like code red and nimda worms/virii have played havoc with IIS servers as you are all probably well aware so IMHO putting it on Linux servers is a very good bet.
A demo version was given away on one of the latest computer magazines. It just requires a license code to be purchased to enable more than 50 documents to be viewed. This is proprietary and is based on three things the hostname of the server, the port no. of the web server and the web directory. You then logon to docushare as administrator, go to the admin section, and check the server ID that is created. This is sent to the States and a license is generated. For example a Server ID of 39397 for 50 users gives something like this with this format (not a real license) CR1R-Q9YH-Z2KZ-7KFA-99SL-W711-RCH I don't know what kind of encryption that they use to generate the string. It does have version control, and user access levels, using a thing called keyview to display documents on the fly, or enabling downloading of them. Python scripts are used and the verity database for searching etc... It is pretty straight forward and the interface can be customised to a degree.
