File management module or custom content type needed for managing "library" files

[tmitchell]

On the previous version of our website there was the "Documents and Files" section. Since we've migrated we haven't had that to manage various promotional or document files.

We could create a custom content type just for "library" items or we could find a robust file management module for Drupal to help handle this. If a module was available that could help list folders and contents easily, that would be preferred. Howver, it would have to allow us to add some custom fields for tagging the content.

This would be used by VisCom and by Education Committee for tracking document files or external document URLS.

Some basic fields for tracking library items are (from Michael Gerlek):

Citation index		single-line text (required)
Author(s)			single-line text (required)
Title				single-line text (required)
Conference/Collection	single-line text (optional)
Date				date (optional)
Description			multi-line text (optional)
Format(s)			single-line text (required)
Pages				non-zero signed two-byte integer (optional)
Creative Commons code	<drop-down list?!> (required)
URL				url (optional)

Each of these library records will require the ability to have one or more optional attachments.

This will be used by creating an SVN repository which is snapped to the website. These documents can then be referenced by url from Drupal

Complete years ago - now registered users of www.osgeo.org can add 'library' nodes.
