We just got a demo of LiveLink, a document manager system.  They have =
an
Intranet module wich is REALLY like the Zope one.  In fact, it's almost =
de
same!  I found a number of similar functionalities between them, but =
there
is a couple of features in LiveLink wich I found interesting:

- If a user upload a document, the programmer can use it directly.  =
There
are automatics converters for many formats: PDF to HTML, Excel to HTML, =
Word
to HTML, Word to PDF, etc.  You can develop your own converters if tou =
want.
	Example:  Someone upload a report in Excel.  In your website, you
can put a link to a PDF version, or show it in HTML automatically! =20

- When a user is logged, he sees only the documents he can manage!  =
Much
simpler interface!

- The interface is internalionalized.

So, I guest my questions are:

	- Any plan for a Zope interface internationalisation ?  I know, we
could translate the interface ourself, but we want to upgrade =
sometimes...

	- Any plan for "converters" ?  I think it would be fairly easy, no?


	- Could hiding unauthorized objects been possible?  I  know that I
can manage that in DTML, but I mean in the default management =
interface?

Any thoughs?
