Re: php based "open source" document workflow

Well ... it's not PHP but Mason, and it's called "Bricolage". (It's an Open Source content management system). And it's not straightforward ... but it can cover the sort of thing you are talking about with some tweaks. You will need to set it up so that you can use it to pass Word (or whatever) docs between work desks. http://www.bricolage.cc/ Rob bruce wrote:

hi... i'm dealing with a project where i'm going to have users deal/modify a number of docs.. i'd like some sort of doc workflow process where i can allow a given user/type of user access to the doc, and move the doc along the process. ie, eng -> develops the doc test-> tests the doc qa -> reviews the doc doc signed off/complete... this kind of process would have the eng/test/qa person touching the doc, and only after all have signed off on the doc, would it be complete.. i'm going to be dealing with potentially ~2000 docs, so i''d like to have a system in place that allows us to more or less track what's going on. does anybody have any thoughts on an open source solution for this kind of situation. thanks bruce bedouglas@earthlink.net
