KnowledgeTree Document Management System
----------------------------------------
Welcome to KnowledgeTree. While it represents a significant improvement
to the visible and background components of KnowledgeTree, it is not yet
ready for production use.
It is recommended that you ensure you have backups of anything you put
into the beta repository.
KnowledgeTree 3 is intended to be easier to use for users and
administrators (including a new user interface) and also easy for
developers to customise it and make plugins for it.
KnowledgeTree 3 includes a set of core and standard plugins that broadly
cover the functionality offered by KnowledgeTree 2, although almost all
code has been rewritten or analysed before reuse.
New and extended functionality includes:
* Entirely new template-based user interface, allowing for easy changes to
the application's look and feel and easy to implement co-branding
opportunities.
* On-demand indexing of files as opposed to scheduled indexing, ensuring
files are searchable immediately after uploading and simplifying the
installation of the server.
* Secure versioning of document metadata, not just the document itself.
This vastly increases the application's applicability in regulatory
compliance scenarios.
* A new tree document metadata type has been added with the tree being
represented graphically on the user interface.
* The User/Group schema has been extended to allow groups to be nested,
thus providing for the mapping of users in more complex organisations.
* The move folder and move file functionality is now transactional and
records a history of changes to the folder structure.
* Bulk import functionality allows administrators to import large numbers
of files from external data sources quickly and easily.
* KnowledgeTree administrators may customise and extend the KnowledgeTree
online help facilities using a web-based editor.
* A powerful plug-in architecture, providing KnowledgeTree developers with
the ability to easily create new application functionality, hook into
system events and expose the functionality on the user interface.
* A revamped permissions system which is easier to use and provides finer
grained control over a user's actions than in KnowledgeTree 2.x. The
extended functionality also lets KnowledgeTree community developers
create their own permissions on the system, allowing their plug-ins to
easily check permissions that they require to function.
