Hi Ryan,

In the latest code lines, there are some new policies associated with Content including Content Read. There's an example called ContentHits (in the new 'Extension Samples' project showing its use.

With regards to storing your audit trail, it really depends on how you want to access it. If you decide to store it in the Repository, you'll be able search, transform, export etc. One suggestion is that you could dedicate a new repository store to the audit trail - that way it'll have its own search index and the nodes will be kept seperate from the primary store of folders and content.

Any plans on this functionality being included in alfresco? 🙂 This is exactly what I am looking for to satisfy compliance.

Hi

Auditing should be in 1.4.
See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Audit for an idea of what is planned.
