Overview

DoCASU is a custom User Interface (UI) for the Open Source Enterprise Content Management system Alfresco.

Motivation

The current Alfresco UI has been designed to expose most of the potential of Alfresco.

This approach addresses the needs of nearly all users, including power users, but is not to comfortable for average end users.

Goal

The goal of the DoCASU project is to provide to the Alfresco Community a Custom Alfresco UI:

• with a strong focus on User eXperience (e.g. ease of use, responsiveness)
• which will be less confusing for average end users (99% vs. the 1% power users),
• which will permit a broader acceptance of the solution by a larger group of users
• and being a scalable solution based on the assembly of standard components.
