Sneak peek: Optaros Ext-JS Web Client for Alfresco
As I mentioned in my “Assembling 2.0 Solutions with Alfresco” talk, Optaros has written a streamlined web client for Alfresco based entirely on REST (web scripts) and Ext JS. We’re calling it DoCASU, which stands for Document Access for Casual Users, and we’re making it freely-available as an open source project.
We haven’t made the official announcement of its availability yet, but so many people have asked me about it after seeing the presentation, I thought I’d spill the beans, at least for faithful ecmarchitect.com readers.
Read more about the project and download the AMP from code.optaros.com. If you see things that need fixing, create a bug report or fix it yourself and contribute it back. Have fun!

Really nice work guys. Truly very impressive.

Hi Jeff,
as the founder of opsoro I’m proud to see that someone has the same vision like me. You found the manpower to do it, nice!
I don’t see any license section on the mentioned website, only a statement that you want to contribute it to the community. What is the timeline and what license are you going to use?
Cheers, Jan
PS: Is your book going on?

Hello Jan,
DoCASU is available as open source under GPL v3. Will add this information in the FAQ.
Cheers,
Olivier
