Alfresco Software announced the new release of Alfresco Enterprise 3.3. This edition isn't available until end of May. But as usual, Alfresco Software has already released Alfresco Community Edition 3.3 and you can download the community version from http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Community_Edition. According to the Alfresco press release, this version includes a wide range of content services. For instance, integrations with IBM Lotus Social software, and a preview of an upcoming Google Docs(TM) integration. However, the most interesting area I personally like is the Alfresco Share, and here are some of new features:

1. Collaboration Lists
: Share Data list provides users with a mechanism for tracking lists of items within the context of a project. You can create your custom lists such as team-to-do list, features or defects, and then keep track of all these tasks related to your project. As you can imagine, it's not easy to store this kind of information in a blog or wiki but now you can easily create your custom data list and utilize it.

2. Google Like Search
: Share Search offers users a familiar "Google-like" advanced search that allows fields to be queried alongside text searches. For instance, finding documents by a given author, created since a given date, and containing a given text. Of course you can create your custom metadata and search based on the custom metadata.

3. Rules and Actions Management
: You can create and manage rules within Share Sites and Repository. Also Linked Rules allows rule reuse across multiple spaces and supports centralized management of libraries of rules. You can automatically trigger actions on content such as copy, move or transform one to another.
