Alfresco 1.3 Review - An Interview with John Newton, Co-Founder and CTO of Alfresco
In this Podcast I review Alfresco 1.3 with John Newton, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer of Alfresco.
Specifically we discuss:
- What were the major focus areas around 1.3?
- What was done to increase scalability and performance?
- The larger a system the more focus there is on administration. What has been done here?
- The other major area of focus was customization. This obviously affects the server and the client. What has been done here?
- CIFs is probably the most common interface to Alfresco. What work has been done on CIFS?
- Collaboration is a whole area in itself and the concept of SmartSpaces and email interaction is key to this. What has been done here?
- Other areas of interest.
