Quote:OpenDocMan allows the creation of various groups (categories) and fine-grained access to the documents within it?
Sort of. You create "Departments". Each file then has Department-specific permissions, and User-specific permissions.
Quote: Can users upload any types of files (probably mainly Microsoft Office files) and work on them? Do they check them out by downloading, then work on revisions and then upload? I can't quite get my head around how the process works!
You can configure which file-types are acceptable. When they need to edit them they check-out the file, edit it, save it, and then check-in the file.
Quote: Can I install OpenDocMan into a subdomain, e.g. docs.sitename.org.uk ?
Yes
Quote:If I install OpenDocMan into a localhost WAMP, which directory should I put the /document_repository/ folder in. This is running on WindowsXP, so the path to the folder I'm going to install OpenDocMan into is: C:\wamp\www\opendocman
I would place the dataDir as c:\wamp\www\document_repository. That way, visitors would not be able to browse the /document_repository/ folder in their web browser as it would be one level below your root web folder.
