  • Application and Configuration Management
    • Full server restarts for configurations
      • Too many configurations are internal to the web application and require a full restart
      • Detail: "Examples of internal configurations to the web application require a restart:
        • Workflow changes
        • TinyMCE reconfiguration"
    • Virtualization server performance issues
      • Virtualization server gets wedged for no clear reason & requires re-start; or it doesn't work, and then spontaneously starts working for no known reason.
      • Detail:
    • Instance restoration
      • Cannot easily restore an Alf instance
      • Detail: Exporting and importing a repository does not appear to be sufficient to get back to the original state.
    • Clustering WCM servers
      • Cannot cluster WCM - this is important for all of our projects that plan to work with the Alfresco repository
      • Detail: "MIT needs a way to host their authoring environment in a clustered environment that provides failover protection. Nightly backups of content could be a temporary fix, but we would prefer to have a more sophisticated set up. It would be best to not put our users at risk of losing a days work if the server crashes. In addition, we cannot afford to lose information for clients that exist outside of IS&T (such as the MIT Alumni Association, among others)"
    • Hosted service capabilities
      • Does not handle a "hosted service (with multiple separate and distinct websites/web projects)" environment well. The "Company Space" is shared by all, along w/categories, dictionary, etc. We want to domain-ize different user groups w/different apps/projects, ideally each has a Company Space. - this is important for all of our projects that plan to work with the Alfresco repository
      • Detail: "We are not going to move forward with a ""one Alfresco instance per website"" setup. We need a way to host separate and distinct web projects on one Alfresco instance, including separation between content, users, roles, etc. In addition, we would like more sophisticated user management within specific web projects. For instance, we would like certain users to hold the role of a ""reviewer"" for most of the site but also hold the role of ""content manager"" within a specific section of the website."
  • Collaboration and Publishing Process
    • Sandbox issues
    • Asset locking
  • Content Editing
    • Need to search for content to edit, include, or link to in a document (also see link mgmt)
    • Need to search for and see images that are being included in content
    • General UI issues
