Synopsis

InfoStore is a generic content management system that allows storage, retrieval and indexing of arbitrary chunks of information. Using a templating system, the user can easily define new types of information, that can then be stored into the system once defined. All information is stored in a tree (like a hard disk) and accessed through an easy to use web interface. Different Kinds of Information can be set into relations to each other allowing the creation of e.g. Projects that can include Tasks, or Meetings that can include Notes. Further, the system provides configurable emailling, user access groups, and much more. If the base functionality is not sufficient, InfoStore provides Jython-Scripting support to extend the functionality for all major components. Jython code enables access to the full InfoStore API.
