Hi,

Does anyone know of the best open-source document management
programs because, I do lots of research and, all I use now is
the MS notepad so, I have about 100+ .txt documents. Also I'm
very sloppy with my documents and other files on my system. Can
anyone please help.

Thank you.

This paperless office software is ideal for a small business. It uses a
method mimicing the classic file cabinet, and the sectioned file folder,
to store documents. It is suitable for a doctor, lawyer, or small
business, and can store 10 million file folders and 1 billion documents
or pages. The software takes files/documents, input with a scanner or
created with a program like Word or Excel, and organizes them in an
Access database, made to look like the classic filing system, with file
folder names and folder sections. The goal was to create a very fast and
efficient way to organize, look up, view, and print documents. Users and
user passwords can be created and every entry is automatically labeled
with the user who entered it. Although I have not undertaken a legal
investigation, this system can be a legitimate method of maintaining
records if employed with the proper safeguards to document tampering and
privacy. Files can be made unalterable and confidentiality can be
maintained.

A Help File is built into the program. The program can be setup to mimic
the way you work and the way your files are labelled and organized. To
take advantage of all the software's features you will have to spend
some time reading the help text to learn as much as one can glean from
this information. Much of the program's functioning is intuitive and
similar to the way other Window's software operate. If you have comments
or suggestions please feel free to email me, but do not expect a
response. I will not be able to provide any technical support, as you
would certainly expect with a free product.

Did a quick search, lots of this stuff is web-based (don't know if
this is a problem), and it's all open source:

For more alternatives, do a search for "document management" on
http://freshmeat.net.
