Is anyone into document (not content) management systems? Is the best solution out there, for the paperless environment, something like KnowledgeTree<\/a>? I’m looking for recommendations.<\/p>\n

The idea here is to scan newspaper clippings, parts of books, and so on, place it in a DMS, and give it tags (like Flickr does), as well as add some appropriate metadata (like maybe the title of the article as text, an OCR conversion of the first paragraph and some notes), and have it as a searchable database. <\/p>\n

I’m planning on picking up a flatbed scanner (it seems most USB ones do work with Linux, my aged 10-year-old-scanner that works on a parallel port still doesn’t), and then setting up the document management system that performs some kind of rsync or keeps version control in SVN, so that these documents are also accessible via the Internet (maybe private, maybe public). Services like Amazon’s S3 or even a DreamHost account seem to be viable for this option.<\/p>\n

I like everything about KnowledgeTree (from its website, at least), save for the US$2,200 fee for their SMB edition (I can imagine the WebDAV stuff, and integration with Office applications being useful). It however does look like the license is liberal enough to allow extensions to be written… Q2\/2007, maybe their OOo plugin will be free for all.
