We use github enterprise since many years and have a lot of suspended accounts of former colleagues, that search is still displaying in the results. Is there any way to exclude those repositories from the search?

As the lead architect, I had no problem installing EPiServer CMS system, installing a test site (Alloy), and start writing MVC code in Visual studio to see what it could and could not do. This was assisted by EPiServer offering 6 video training courses which covered development, deployment hosting and enough about authoring to understand the key concepts (visitor groups, blocks, DAM etc). Now the organisation I consulted for is spending more than £100k per month on EPiserver licenses (3 DXC instances)
Now I have to evaluate AEM for a new project and new company. After considerable time searching for developer documentation, I found a guide to install AEM on a local machine with eclipse, Java 8 etc. However, it needs a license.properties. I found several posts asking how to get his, but none with a resolution. One has a link to a form which does not exist.
I filled out the sales contact form, as Adobe offer no way to contact them about AEM (no email, no chat) etc. I got no reply.
I also posted on the AEM adobe forum, asking if where was any way for a developer or consultant to get a license to evaluate the product from a technical perspective. I linked to a few of the older posts asking the same question, and pointed out that the links they provided were now dead. My post was deleted by Adobe. I have no idea why, unless they are trying to stop new customers from seeing their product before paying for it?
Any other developers or architects out there found a way to get a local dev trial license if your organisation has not purchased one?
Register on their partners portal : https://solutionpartners.adobe.com
Request product access here (here they force you to login) - https://solutionpartners.adobe.com/download/aemform/
In about 1-2 working days you get a download link and a license key. (Last I had to request access was quite sometime back so things might have changed)
I'm evaluating JFrog Xray for my company, and though I like what I see, I noticed that it appears that there are only 2 reports you can generate for Licenses - and both reports run over all the repos in your linked Artifactory.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or if there's a way to easily generate custom reports on a subset of repos in a given Artifactory. Is it a planned feature that doesn't exist yet?
I've played around with the REST API, and I see that I can write my own code to manipulate the report data - however, if it's a feature that I'm missing, or one in the works, this would be nice to know. If we don't have to maintain code to perform this functionality, that makes the product more valuable to us.
Thanks!
Currently, custom reports are not supported, there are some plans to enhance Xray reports in the future roadmap.
in addition, few reports which related to Jfrog Xray has been incorporated into Jfrog mission control (latest release), you might want to take a look at it
I am trying to figure out what is the exact difference between a document management system and archives management system? For example, what is the difference between Alfresco and Archivesspace (http://www.archivesspace.org/)?
Can Alfresco function as an archives management tool? What is the difference between the two? I read there is a record management module in Alfresco, is this what is meant by archives management?
Can Alfresco be used as an Archives Management System? Yes, of course. One real world example of this is the New York Philharmonic. They digitized their musical scores and associated artifacts going back to 1842 and then made them available online for researchers. Here is a video about it.
At its heart, Alfresco is a repository that allows you to capture any type of file, secure those files, route those files through workflows, search across the files, and associate metadata with each file. What I've just described are what most people would consider the basic set of functionality present in any worthwhile document management system.
Now, what makes that specific to archival purposes? I'm not an archivist. That's a highly-specialized field. One thing that is missing from my list of functionality above is "capture" or how the artifacts you are archiving will get into the system. This depends on exactly what it is you are archiving. One might use document scanners or high-end photography equipment, for example. None of that is addressed by Alfresco. You'll have to use third-party hardware and software and then integrate it, although many integrations exist between Alfresco and third-party capture vendors.
So I would say, yes, Alfresco can be used for archives management. But perhaps more importantly than considering whether or not a piece of software can be given a label, you should be thinking about how your users will use the software and what it is they need to get done. Then focus on how each of the packages you are evaluating can be used to achieve those goals to try to figure out whether or not each package will be a fit.
The difference is that ArchivesSpace is an 'archives information management system', whereas Alfresco is a full 'content management system', which means that it can manage any type of content.
What ArchivesSpace is:
ArchivesSpace Version 1.0 was completed in August 2013. It includes basic functionality for accessioning, processing, description, digital object description, and authority control workflows for archival material, as well as for searching descriptions and exporting metadata objects such as EAD, MARCXML, MODS, Dublin Core, METS, and CSV.
http://www.archivesspace.org/developmentplan
As for Alfresco:
The Alfresco One platform allows organizations to fully manage any type of content from simple office documents to scanned images, photographs, engineering drawings and even large video files.

What the difference ultimately comes down to is not what it can store but what functionality you get in addition. ArchivesSpace seems to be a simple implementation of a document storage system that stores documents in collections with associated metadata. Alfresco also offers workflows, custom actions, previews, sites, wikis etc.
If your specific use case is related to archiving off documents specifically and you want something that will already be good at this then go ahead and use ArchivesSpace, if not, or if you want to expand the system out in future, then Alfresco will likely be able to do more but will likely take more effort to configure to your specific use case as you will have to create a custom content model and such.
Alfresco Records Management is for managing documents that will likely have some legal significance, such as court papers, official government department responses etc, and as such their creation and destruction need to be closely managed. As far as I can see this is not something ArchivesSpace can do.
(Full disclosure: I work for an Alfresco partner)
Currently I have a task of exploring Alfresco Community 4.2.
What I need to do is to build a workflow that allows users to upload document, an admin to verify it, and other higher level users to allow the document to be released, how it is released is not my concern. e-mail notifications will also be sent to higher level users or admin when the document is about to expire.
I have downloaded the Alfresco Community 4.2 exe from their website, and install it in a Windows 7 32-bit laptop. But I cannot access to /alfresco and /share, I learnt that I need MySQL for this, so I'm currently installing this one, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/ , am I correct?
And do I have to do all this separately, for example, first I need to set up users, then configure their restrictions, then move on to documents?
I'm really really new in this. I've searched Google but so far everything seems complicated to me.
Thanks in advance!
First of all if you are using installer which you seems to be you do not need to install anything separately. Alfresco installer comes with everything bundled into it's installation.
Unless you have specific requirement where you want to use MySQL instead of bundled postgres database.
Now For workflow one everything is up and running you can check various existing out of box workflows available with alfresco if any of that meet your requirement you can use that directly no other efforts required.
In case you feel none of those workflow meetup your requirement then you need to create your advance workflow.

I saw that the Alfresco Cloud edition has nice share/publish features:
(source: alfresco.com)
Now I could not find this in the community edition, even though I found a place in the Admin Console under Content Publishing called Channel Manager where you can add different publish channels. I did not find a way to make use of them though!
Still my main question would be how to be able to generate public links for non users to access certain files.
Thanks!
The Alfresco Cloud is very new (it only went GA last week!). As such, it features quite a few new bits since the latest Alfresco Community 4.0 release, which came out at the start of the year. The "Public Share" feature is one of those.
The Alfresco 2012 Product Roadmap has been announced, which should give you an idea of what features are likely to be coming in the next Community Release, later this year. Almost all of the new features from the Cloud have either already been merged to Head already, or will be merged before the next Community release. I don't know if the public sharing will be merged or not (you'd need to pin down one of the product managers for a definitive answer on if that's something that'll be merged to community/enterprise, or if it's something that's too specific to the Cloud setup (so can't easily be re-used by other setups). In the mean time, you can keep an eye on the checkins to HEAD!
(If the feature you're interested in from Cloud has already been committed to head, then you can grab a nightly build and start playing with it aleady!)
