It’s official. Tenthline is a now an official Alfresco partner.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the software. The documentation is still the sticking point, but it seems Jeff Potts of ecmarchitect.com will be writing a book. Everything he’s put out so far has been very useful is understanding the software, so I’m looking forward to this. You can read more right here.

Internally, we’ve accomplished quite a bit with Alfresco, including re-creating our company website internally. Using Alfresco to manage our public facing site versus the current Ruby on Rails implementation is a definite possibility, which speaks a lot for the advantages Alfresco poses if we’re willing to replace a perfectly functional existing system.

That’s not to speak poorly of Ruby or Rails; there is no doubt in my mind that I -could- include versioning and workflow into the existing Rails site, but why re-invent the wheel? I’d really like it if I could get the best of both words, and use Ruby instead of JavaScript for the API. There are some motions in that direction, but very little actual code that I’ve seen so far.
