First, IMHO, I have been looking at different intranet starting points for almost 3 years now (like some, implemented a few, hated a lot) and I was amazed by the strength and elegance of what e-smith has done.
That being said, has anyone combined e-smith with forum and document upload/download capabilites (through the web interface)?
My users (college business students) know the difference between a floppy and a hard drive, but they aren't up to learning ftp or a nntp reader. I need to be able to set it up that they can make posts and upload files through the web.
I love the fact that the professors will be able to save files directly into their folders (or i-bays) though SAMBA but how can I set it so that others can see those files through a cute web page.
I welcome all answers (even flames if they contain useful information).
thank you
