Release roadmap for FileSystemStorage…
Project Description
- Project resources
FileSystemStorage (FSS) is a storage for AT fields that stores the field raw value on file system instead of the ZODB. Typicaly, you will use FSS for the back-end of your file fields.
This storage strategy saves room in the ZODB.
You may use the tools that come with FSS to publish the contained files to a files server (samba, etc.)
Please note that FSS is a software component for developers. Using FSS requires you already understand Archetypes, and you know how to build or change an Archetypes schema.
