online DMS document editing in non MS environments

Question

I am looking at possible DMS solutions and have a basic question:

Our requirement is that users must be able to edit documents "on-line"

e.g. not have to save a doc to their local PC and then re-upload the docs.
(Users should be able to edit the doc and push save, and it happens to the on-line doc.)

We prefer a non-Microsoft solution (most of our users are on Linux), and it must be able to be hosted internally (on an Intranet) - prefer LibreOffice or something similar that works on multiple OSes

I have tried the demo of openkm and it seems to make you download a doc first, and manually upload it again, as there is no edit button. Did not see an alfresco on-line demo, so I could not try it there.

Can anyone suggest a system that allows such in place editing of spreadsheets and documents

One suggestion/comment I received is that in place editing may only be possible using IE / work with OLE. As most of our users are using non-IE browsers, that is not an option for us.

Was it helpful?
