| Documents |
 |
The document manager is a repository for all your groups files,
folders, documents, pictures, or even programs.
It allows a team to work in the same area at the same time by using
a revision control system where only one person can modify a file at
a time. Permissions are implemented so that you can restrict access
to certain files. Files can be viewed, or downloaded depeding on their
Mime type. Its features are:
- Efficient directory tree view just like windows explorer
implemented in JavaScript so that it is quick for the user
- Unix like permissions on all folders and files. Can be specified
down to users, groups, or other people to read, write or execute.
