A while ago, a client asked me if I could help them update their Alfresco Manual. It turned out to be a long Word document, well-made with many screenshots. The problem is that it’s a long document (30+ pages), and if you only need to change a small part, you have to check out and edit the whole document. For users who need help quickly, the long document makes it difficult to find the information. There must be a better way to do this, I thought, more like the Alfresco Help documentation (in English), but with the content managed and displayed within Alfresco.

Have you noticed that the flash based previews in Alfresco 4.0 looks a bit blurry? Then you are correct, it is not your vision that’s failing, they really are. This is due to change settings for pdf2swf program (that create the flash) to make it more reliable for large pdfs, and for certain pdfs it could crash the jvm completely. So there was a good reason for the change.

As many others did this christmas I got myself an iPad. And what better use could have of your Touchpad than browse your document repository with it?

Alfresco Share isn’t really Touchpad friendly, and the beta Mobile client Alfresco did hasn’t been updated for the latest versions. My guess is Alfresco will release something more touchpad/mobile friendly, but why wait?
