[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Features

[Daniel López]

Hi,

I've been playing and evaluating OpenCMS and I have some questions 
regarding some features I might have overlooked. I haven't seen them 
mentioned anywhere in the docs and I don't know if they will be there in 
the upcoming version 6. So, does it have...
.- Restricting templates per folder/"type" of folder. Management wants 
to restrict specifically which documents are entered into some of the 
folders so users can just enter a certain type of documents and in a 
certain number.
.- Having documents in different languages to create multi-lingual 
sites. I don't mean replicating the structure in another tree folder but 
  having one structure and handling documents as one entity with 
multiple views. It could also be used to generate different views (e.g. 
text-only for blinded people)
.- Authentication/Authorization API: We already have usernames/passwords 
defined inside our organizacion. So, if possible, we would like to be 
able to plug these already built system in, through some API, instead of 
replicating identity. I know it could be done, somehow, at the SQL level 
but I'd rather have a formal API.

We are trying to evaluate if we could adapt OpenCMS to these and other 
requirements, and how much effort it would require.

Thanks for any insight!
