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
The original question asker seems have been banned or something, but it should be relatively easy to share large groups of documents since you can create collection to group documents into and nest collections within one another. – Lèse majesté Apr 16 '12 at 16:03

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.

Does Plone do document management as well? I've only heard of it being a CMS. – Lèse majesté Apr 16 '12 at 16:05

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/
