Looking for a good enterprise content management system/document management system. The part I am most concerned about is the document management portion. It needs directory/file level permissions assignable by user through a webgui or something equally easy so that management can change permissions. Ideally, this should be FAOSS that can be hosted in the cloud or something with a low monthly cost.

So far I like Alfresco and KnowledgeTree but both look difficult/expensive to host in the cloud. I've also looked at a hosted SVN repo but the permissions setup on that looks pretty complex. Anybody have any suggestions?

Jumpbox offers both an Alfresco and a KnowledgeTree DMS image. Their hosting solution provider is a bit expensive at $45 a month. However, if it runs well in the cloud this would be a viable option. Anyone have any experience with this? – Anonymous Sep 18 '09 at 15:59

Try Google Docs.

Specifically, Google Apps for Domains. google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html – Richard Hoskins Sep 18 '09 at 15:23
That is one of the things I looked at too. As a solution to our problem, it does seem like it will work. However, I am not a big fan of the way google docs stores documents in individual user accounts and sharing must be done on a file by file basis. We have several hundred files really and permissions would quickly become a mess. Have you found any workarounds to this on Google Docs? – Anonymous Sep 18 '09 at 15:57
You can use a google group to quickly send editing invites to all your colleagues. – Linus Sjögren Sep 18 '09 at 16:35

Check out Plone - Its an open source content management system that does pretty much exactly what you described, and there's a pretty big community behind it as well as 3rd party addons.

Did you try Content Central? It is a browser based software and is simple to use. I think it will fulfill all of your requirements. I have used it for my recent project where I have to share a lot of files with my collaborators. It makes my work easier by allowing me to add links in my files. Due to this my collaborators can follow me easily and I can also follow them just from their notes. get more details at http://www.ademero.com/products/content-central/
