      ownCloud is, I think, the closest for you and is fully free and I have a deployment guide to follow for getting started.

      Alfresco is decent for a lot of the web functionality of Sharepoint.

      can you share the link.

        Why don't you want to use Sharepoint? It's free for the functionality you've listed, I believe.

              Someone feel like making a guide to get the libreoffice online tools installed along with that?

                I was amazed at how powerful Sharepoint is for something they basically throw in if you buy even just 1 hosted Exchange account.

                It's basically a free-ish add-on to all their Office 365 Business products.

                But of course if you aren't using any of those, it isn't so cheap, I guess.

                  only free for the Low end business line, not the E1 line.

                      Does it has to be CentOS? I now ownCloud9 no longer support Windows natively

                        Because the feature we want required paid Sharepoint. Fre version is not enough

                          Doesn't have to be, but why consider anything else? CentOS is a great platform and the recommended one from ownCloud.

                            Did you list this feature and I missed it?

                              I did not 😛 This is from http://mangolassi.it/topic/8020/what-is-intranet-as-in-folder-structure where I asked about intranet. So now we are in full pursuit of this concept, aka sharepoint. We are looking for a version control, moderator rights (or power users), drag&drop ability, widget or plugins, authentication, etc. To me it sounds like we are creating a local website to announce events, forms, request, while act as file share as well.
                              We assigned one of our dev to do a test run on sharepoint (free). His report is that it is difficult to maintenance. He said that some features he need are only available on the paid version. I don't know if I should try sharepoint myself just to see what he meant, or go with what he said.

                              So now we are going to have a demo with another vendor (https://www.interact-intranet.com/product/features/intelligent-intranet/). This intranet is not my project, but I feel that we are missing out on something. Paid version is not a problem as long as we receive support as well, thus sharepoint which is only for license is excluded (or at least that's what I think why it is excluded).

                                You should at least find out which features are missing. That is likely important.

                                  I will do that and update the thread.

                                    Exactly - How can you provide options when you don't know what was missing before?

                                      Ignore this thread. I think I was misinformed. I will drive into Sharepoint Foundation and see what's the issue with it. Thanks all

                                        I think the biggest problem with Sharepoint Foundation, in terms of cost, is the database requirements i.e. it will only run with SQL Server.

                                        SQL Server Express is free, but is pretty limited and doesn't really seem intended for production environments. In particular the fact that databases are limited to 10GB, which seems pretty tiny for a typical Sharepoint site. So you quickly end up needing SQL Server Standard edition, which is pretty expensive. If you don't have SQL Server already, you probably need to budget for that at the outset, even if you're only planning on using Sharepoint Foundation.

                                        I'd like Microsoft to provide something in between Express and Standard, but I'm not allowed to criticise Microsoft on ML so I'll say no more 🙂
