And when it comes to pushing data from public to the author instance (just because Rainer said that the public instance should not contain data the author instance does not have), I can recommend the use of the observation module! Simply set it up to observe added or modified nodes in this part of the public dms and then trigger an action upon these changes.

P.S.: Congratulations to the creator of this module. Excellent work!

If your goal is to store into the DMS, it's not difficult at all. The
same way the author adds information into the website repository, you
can have the public add information to your DMS. It's just not common
practice, that's all.

So here's the steps I would follow:

Create a form accessible to the target user
Process the form and collect the content and file
Save as a Document in the DMS

Cool?

It sounds quite logical what you guys both say. What actually I want
to do is a Form page where users can fill in information about
projects, upload at the end some files containing project reports and
than submit all the data. After Submit I want to collect these files
and the content of all the other fields in a database. That is all. I
thought I could easily store the uploaded files into the DMS. But it
looks that it would be wiser to store all in a new repository.

I wouldnt do that because:
If you do so, your author and publish instance will have stored different
data. And the general magnolia concept is to:
1. upload on author instance 2. activate the uploaded stuff to public


And what do you think about this scenario:

1. user upload a file into public instance without storing into the local
repository.
2. a custom filter / control do the staff to send the file back to author
instance AND start a workflow.
3. At this point a custom authentication should be provided, to avoid
permission issues.
4. a "superuser" approve or reject the document answering to the workflow
engine
5. workflow end with short-circuit the route back to public instance, with
"publication" (if approved) or deleting the document (if rejected).


can this be a solution?
this can also be useful if you have several public instances...
