Alfresco 2.2 has focused on offering content management and collaboration for everyone in the enterprise and has used web 2.0 technologies to bring together content management, collaboration, office and email integration all within one repository. Many industry leading clients are using Alfresco to provide next generation user experiences, creating communities around their products, and delivering this at dramatically lower cost through the benefit of open source. These new community oriented product micro-sites need to be highly-scalable with the ability to integrate rich media with user generated content, and support rapid content update for a fresh customer experience, while promoting a consistent brand. Experience with this next generation of websites has driven the enhancements in Alfresco 2.2 including: Web Application Preview and Test " providing the ability to preview in-context changes to any web application, including PHP, Ruby, JSF, Tiles, Struts, Groovy, and .NET Web Farm Deployment Configuration " supports advanced deployment rules for scalable, 3-tier web application architectures with partitioned, replicated deployment Site Templating and Branching " enabling rapid creation of new sites from existing templates and ability to baseline major site updates by branching existing site Asset Reuse " update and sharing of content across web projects Alfresco has continued its focus on collaboration and management for the whole enterprise in version 2.2 with enhancements delivering the following capabilities: Email-based Collaboration " Email directly into the repository and capture all discussions relating to a specific document Email Archival " Automatic capture and archival of all attached files and email messages JMX-based Server Administration " JSR-160 support offering administrators access to Alfresco via a JMX console This podcast is a recording of a live webinar discussing and demonstrating Alfresco 2.2.

In this podcast ... This is the first in a series of podcasts discussing the key areas of content management and will focus on document management. In this podcast Alfresco staff writer, Hayley Powell, interviews me asking the following questions: Firstly I have to ask why does document management have such strange terms? What are the major trends in document management today? What is the cost to a business of poor document management? So can you relate to me typical things that document management does that most users who use a shared drive can relate to? Documents have more than just content what about things such as properties in Office documents? You raised two common issues - search and when you find document versions. What about search? So the obvious next question is search and versions together. What are the typical problems here? Obviously some documents have to be secure and some are public. What about security? Things like press releases are initially private and then public. How is that managed? How do you manage a released document and prevent it from being changed? So when you bring these things together what do you have? Given that approach to document management how does Alfresco approach it? Can you discuss rules more? Can you discuss Alfrescos approach to Search? The web is not one website so how does Alfresco search over multiple sites? What client software do you use to access Alfresco? You mentioned the lifecycle of a document. How does Alfresco manage simple workflow? What is new that will make it even simpler for Office users? A Whitepaper on this subject is available in the Content Community where this is also a recorded webinar and demonstration on this subject.

Alfresco 2.1 is now available for download at: http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/ Alfresco 2.1 has focused on delivering a web-oriented REST style architecture with access to content metadata, user interface components and queries via a simple URL. Utilizing new Web 2.0 integration techniques, Web Scripts enable web sites, portals, blogs, applications and Microsoft Office to access or mashup enterprise content without the need for integration tools and complex programming. New lightweight scripting capabilities simplify the development of sophisticated mashups using proven web technologies that enable massive scalability. In summary Alfresco 2.1 focuses on extending the suite to provide: Simple Access from your Tool of Choice " Office, Portal, Website or Web 2.0 Property as Simply as Accessing a URL Simple Access and Mashup internal and External Content " Use of lightweight scripting without the need for complex .NET or Java programming Access Via a URL " All Content and Services Massive Scalability - Web-oriented REST style architecture Alfresco 2.1 has new functionality in the areas of: New Web-Oriented REST style Architecture New Native Office Integration New Web 2.0 User Interface New Enterprise Portal Integration via Web Scripts New Enterprise Content Publishing to WordPress and TypePad Enhanced WCM Functionality New Community AMPs In this live QA session I answer questions along with Kevin Cochrane and Mike Farman. Amongst the questions answered are: What versions of Office and Office programs work with the integration? What about Open Office? What client platforms will work with Alfresco and CIFS? What performance differences are there between CIFS and direct access? Is the Alfresco panel a standalone application or it is an office side panel? When clustering Alfresco what database does it require? What support does Alfresco for XML component management? Will the preview functionality work with JPEG 2000 files? Where can someone get more information and documentation on Alfresco WCM and how to set it up with web portals? Do you have integration tools for integrating with salesforce.com? What is the roadmap for Office integration? What is the status of a Wiki Space for Alfresco? What is the best way to get 2.1 now? When do we expect Alfresco 2.1 to be available? Good listening and feel free to post more questions in the forums. Also, webinar recordings are available in the Content Community.

(Scroll down to the bottom of the blog to play the podcast) In this I highlighted an Accenture study that found: The web is not one website and corporate content is not one repository - It's a Distributed Content World 45% said gathering information about what other parts of the company is doing is a big challenge 57% said that having to go to numerous sources to compile information is a difficult aspect of managing their jobs It's a Federated World. To analyze a competitor you need to search across internal repositories and external repositories. These may be content management systems, blogs, wikis - It's a Heterogeneous World 31% said that competitor information is hard to get Given this scenario the only option is to use standards to search across these repositories and OpenSearch is the ideal standard being used by companies such as: Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, Technorati, Creative Commons and many more In this interview we discuss: The need for distributed, federated search What is OpenSearch Why Alfresco chose to use OpenSearch OpenSearch and the Alfresco repository OpenSearch and the Alfresco client Future plans around OpenSearch How to find out more information Some useful links are: David Caruana has written an excellent blog on Alfresco OpenSearch.
