Explorer to Share migration

[dgenard]

Hello,

We developped a Document Management solution based on Alfresco Explorer interface.
Customizations were done in Alfresco 2.x way of doing :
- Space custom views
- Custom actions
- Custom workflows
- …

The documents are stored in a hierachical structure lookling like

- Department
    - Service
        - Case 
            - Documents‍‍‍‍

Now, the customer likes the Share interface : simpler and more intuitive, with web 2.0 features (wiki, tags, shared agenda, activities tracking, …)

So, we'd like to progressively support the Share interface.
The first step could be a read-only interface : search, browse, and read documents. With some extras : activites, tags and comments.

How could we migrate our current document structure to Share sites ?
Do we have to reorganize the whole document hierarchy under "Company Home/Sites", or can we configure Share to display the unmodified current structure ?
Is it or will it be soon possible to management edit documents and metadata from both Explorer or Share interface ?
Any advice or experience feedback is welcome.

You could move the data inside a "document library" in share. Inside the doclib, you can pretty much do what you are used to.

Trouble is - In Explorer, the people MUST NOT do anything in the folders ""site" and "site/<sitename>". That a bit tricky keeping them out of there, if they have Explorer access. Custom views etc. are not working their, though. Aspects and workflows would have to be individually testet as well, I think
