Docindex is a system that sits on top of one or more version control systems and provides web-based searching, indexing, and retreival of the content.

Docindex initially supports multiple CVS repositories, but it is structured to accomodate mixtures of multiple version control systems.

Docindex requires Perl, Mysql, and a web server (apache).

Features:

• Indexing of multiple version-control repositories according to keywords, title, and abstract.
• Access control via hierarchically defined groups.
• Distinct group permissions on each document record for searching and retreival. A single record can offer differrent files or differrent versions of a single file and can restrict specific entries to specific groups.
• User validation is performed by webserver. Access control is rechecked at each stage of processing.
