Improve Groupwise DMS
I know Novell has said there won't be any improvements to DMS but the alternative Vibe is an over kill and frankly not a DMS.
(1) Major shortcoming is access to documents from web access - currently this is very limited. It would be nice to see Library Folder structure. Search results should show Folder name without having to look at Properties.
(2) Drag and Drop for importing documents.
(3) Ability to Edit documents from Web access not just download them. Ability to mark documents as Checked out
(4) Support for Word / Excel with Office 2013 & 2016. Currently creating NEW documents in the library doesn't work properly - document is created on the local PC with a Chinese looking name and Blank document is the Library & the new Chinese looking file on the local PC.
I appreciate DMS is not important to everyone so an option (tick box) to display DMS options in Client and web access.
DMS is not available in Outlook - this can be a good selling point for Groupwise. Current limited functionality is from Wordpefect days and needs bringing up to date.
I think DMS could do with a Fresh Look as Vibe is not a good alternative.

Yes, we need full support for document management.
Novell needs to add WebDAV support in GW Client like in Vibe Client.
Mind you I don't think it will happen :~(
