Some Questions You May Have…
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 24 Does Alfresco support integration with Framemaker? If i make some customizations to Alfresco, should the code be released to the community? How often are community versions released? If i find any issue with the community version, can i file a bug? Can i replace an open source component with a proprietary solution?
