We took the photograph and video collections out and moved them to another media store. Easily found with the right search through all the diretories. (a readme-moved.txt file explaining the move was put into the old location)<br>
<br>This can really trim things down. It was one thing to have the odd picture in a directory, another to have a collection of say, 2000 images from a year level excursion to hang onto, just in case .. Once we did this, ye olde shared directory was quite sufficient and should last us at least another five years.<br>

Greetings all<br>
<br>
With a huge flurry, I don't where it originated or when it began, but the IT department's long insistence of using the teachers' share drive on our network has suddenly exploded into megabytes of documents, presentations, photos and folders.<br>
Needless to say what was a little gem of a resource to those in the know has become a common warehouse to everything that is really useful to junk.<br>
Riot acts have been read at Curriculum meetings and KLAs have got the message. Stuff is being cleaned up and permissions have been tightened.<br>
We are progressing to a new virtual server environment, and now is probably the time to look at document management alternatives.<br>
<br>
The obvious one is Sharepoint....... or is it?<br>
<br>
What do you reckon?<br>
