Description
Problem:
We want to position Redmine in our company for tracking our projects. We are an ECM company and utilize internally an ECM system ("Use what we sell."). This ECM system contains our project specific documents. At the current state of Redmine it is not possible to integrate these two systems.
Idea:
The documents section of Redmine can be well integrated with an ecm system by using the upcoming CMIS specification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services). CMIS defines how to access documents in an ecm system. CMIS defines two bindings, a REST-like API and a SOAP-API. Alfresco as opensource ECM system provides already a draft implementation (REST-binding) of CMIS, so it can already be used.
I would like to see that Redmine is able to browse through an ecm system, check-in (with comments) and check-out documents, delete documents and publish these information to the activity section, so that everbody in the projects sees if there is an update documents.
By the way, Alfresco Share (http://wiki.alfresco.com/w/images/5/51/Getting_Started_with_Alfresco_Share_for_Labs_3_Stable.pdf, http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Labs_3_Share_Feature_List), a product of Alfresco, has a lot of features like Redmine, but is not focused on software projects.

As far as I understand this issue seems to be frozen. The same happens with the related one posted in Alfresco site http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=12656
Googling around doesn't show any interesting result either.
However, I consider the combination of Redmine with a CMS so interesting for our company that this lack of results is really surprising.
¿Have you found anything recently wrt this topic?

I agree. Redmine is lacking a reel document management system or a content management system that allows versionning, better organisation and better access control.
But there is no point in creating a DMS or a CMS inside Redmine when it is possible to connect it to any of the new CMIS server (Exo Xcmis, alfresco CMIS, Nuxeo CMIS and so on)
