Hi

New to Alfresco but wanted to ask how best to approach this issue. I've got manual ways to do it but was curious how you would code this.

I have a folder structure in Alfresco with a few dozen MS Office documents (Templates) to be used as the basis for 'projects'. The challenges include
1. for each new project to duplicate this entire structure into a project folder.
2. Convert each to ODF as part of the project creation.
3. Customise each document with project metadata (inside the ODF docs).

Excluding the fact that I could convert the Office docs to ODF externally and make a new template folder and pretty much do all of it with CMIS/external tools, what sort of approaches/facilities from the Alfresco side could I consider?

Please excuse my naivety, I got 18 years Documentum experience and about 2 weeks of Alfresco so far (totally impressed with Alfresco! also if there is a preferred forum to post this sort of thing then apologies and please direct me!).

Many thanks

Kevin
