Hi:

I been looking for an file sharing application for en intranet  
enviornment. So far I have found ‘boxroom’ from rubyforge. Are there  
more such open source application? Thought you might know hence giving a  
try here.

Appreciate any feedback.

Google search doesn’t provide much help here either…  
Cheers

Chris:

Thanks for the pointer. I am guessing you have worked with RAM before.  
It seems really cool. Only thing is that I wonder (haven’t tried  
installing it myself) is if one has the possibility to turn of some of  
the feature… cos RAM is full of feture and our need is simple… i.e  
sharing files between companies only on a project by project basis … I  
like the RAM UI but I want to know if I can turn off some feature as we  
dont need it…

Cheers

I have not actually used it, so I really don’t know. Although, on one  
level,  
it is an open source project, so you can “turn on or off” any features  
you  
like simply by modifying the code.
