Considering a move to Redmine

Added by Anthony Generette over 11 years ago

Hello,

My name is Anthony and I'm looking at possible replacement for my organization's current document
management system: Foswiki.

I've looked at a number of different comparison charts and spoke to a few vendors, but have had
trouble actually getting a good sense for what might work for us. Here are a few things
that our users are looking to find, in the new system:

  • Have search results return page headings or other recognizable entity title.
  • Be able to group or un-group search results by web/category/areas
  • Search results show context of search term or at least show highlighted search term in a section of the result.
  • Search results focus page on the results not fill the page with fluff
  • Search results are ranked. Not all hits should be treated equally.
  • Tool is easy to navigate through contents/menus to appropriate page
  • Adding new entries is intuitive and easy to accomplish.
  • Editing existing entries is intuitive and easy to accomplish.
    • Provide options/support for importing existing (FOS Wiki) data.

Anyone out there who knows Redmine well enough to speak to the question of how it addresses
the above, please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you,

-Anthony

I'd rather not use redmine as a document mangement system. It's meant to help you manage projects and managing documents it kinda out of scope...
