Hi guys,

I plan to develop a solution based on Sitecore CMS which would allow the client company to manage their documents in a Sharepoint-fashion (versioning, diffs??). Of course, we're after limiting the number of licences required for the project, and the client doesn't yet have licences for MOSS, so we couldn't simply use the Sitecore Sharepoint Connector which from everything I read requires the MOSS installation, and won't work with bare WSS.

From what I know Sitecore CMS doesn't version documents as such, but is there a possibility for a workaround?

Ideally we'd work with Documents and Files in the same fashion as with normal pages, which enables DIFFs and stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Marcin B
