Hi guys. Can any of you recommend a good web resource for Document Management Systems?

My boss decided that we will be discarding our MS Windows-based shared folders, and use a much "secure" DMS. We used OWL, found at Owl Intranet -.

The problem is: it made things a bit more complicated. Whenever you need to edit a doc, you have to first download the doc, edit it, and then upload it. Compare that to when just using the shared folder, you only have to open the shared folder and double click the file, and then close and save.

Maybe there's a DMS that has the "feel" or ease-of-use of a shared folder?

Any feedback/recommendation welcome.

You might take a look at Knowledge Tree. Although it uses the same check-in/check-out concept it has a desktop client that possibly (I haven't tested it) make things easier.

Hey, thank for the tip. I found this page during my google search for "Knowledge Tree":

Open Source document management missing « Futurile

That blog some other packages to try as well:
Alfresco
DocMgr
iFolder

I think all 4 (including the Knowledge Tree) have integration with Windows Explorer i.e. the users will get to access something very similar to Windows' shared folders.
