[Moin-user] Contractmanagement (DMS) in MoinMoin Wiki

[mail at heavy.ch]

Hi there

A) First let me explain the whole story:

I have the task to arrange and organize various (100, 200, ..) contracts
(as PDF Documents). So I came on the idea to settle this over the
Intranet/MoinMoin. Sure a DMS would do it better, but at the moment we
do not want to use this kind of system.

I'm using now the Theme EXPLORER [2] and arranging the contracts with
the Category Tag and some Sitename-Structure (with "/"), so every
contracts got his page with an pdf as an attachment. And using some ACL
with Groups helps to give permission only to allowed workers.

So it's for me now possible to group them and make FullSearches and
custom Pagelist's. Additionally I would like to be able to save the
relevant Meta data of the present contracts. I use the syntax like
"Company:: MyFirma Business AG". Thus I can find the appropriate data
via full text search like ""Company:: MyFirma" and become DL, DT and DD
Tags in the HTML-View. Just need to be cared that the meta-tags (e.g.
Company::) are always the same. For that task I'll use different
templates. 

The forthcoming XAPIAN search in MoinMoin1.6 will contribute to the fact
then that also the pdf documents could be searched as full text.

So in the next few weeks I will try to start with that solution.

B) But now my question:

1. Exist there any impacts with the upcoming release of moin1.6 with the
meta-tags that I need to be aware. I will do it that with moin1.5.8

2. I'm not fully happy with the current "MetaData", also I tried out the
"A Full Implementation" stuff [1] but seems to me not 100% compatible
with future metadata in moinmoin (due the syntax). Another idea was the
solution with "#!section" stuff, but searching for a meta-tag is also
clumsy.

--> any comments? better ideas are welcome.... thx! MoinMoin is just
great!
