What is Dandi-DMS:
Dandi DMS is a document management system that uses the Drag 'n' Drop metaphor for ease of use.
Most DMS systems use one of two approaches, either they are web-based or they extend the client application in some way, both of these methods have their problems. Web-based approach requires a level of computer competence that largely excludes the novice, where as extending the client application is a tread-mill that requires all editors for all document types to be extended to include some form of DMS interface.
The Cleanest method of including DMS on a system would be to extend the filing system itself to incorporate some form of relational mapping, as this is not going to happen soon I felt an intermediate method was required.
Dandi-DMS is a compromise between the flexibility of the Web-based DMS and the usability of extending applications.
