MyDMS Document Management System

In case you've been wondering why there isn't much activity here (since I'm talking to myself, there is very little in the way of wondering as such -- after all I'm asking myself the question. This blog is a metaphysical mirror rendered in UTF-8: discuss), well it's because of this:

MyDMS

It's an open-source document management system that I have started to contribute code to. Actually, I'm also pretty much maintaining the software and the web site and answering questions from users and so on. It's a lot of work.

Having resolved a fairly serious performance deficit and improving the search times by a lot (from 4 minutes down to under 2 seconds), I'm now working on all kinds of new features. Most importantly, I'm writing a document approval work-flow so that documents can be reviewed and approved by selected peers.

I'm also rewriting the user interface in an effort to improve the layout and general usability.
