I work for a major law firm (think top 6 worldwide) and we run a DM system that requires IE6 only (ie, doesn't work in IE7 even) so every office worldwide is tied into IE6.

Only recently have we started rewriting it to work in newer browsers ... and I don't expect a working prototype before middle of next year!

The docs and metadata are in a DB, just have a new frontend written to match the old UI but with knobs on. Should be done and ready to test by next weekend (inside joke ;0).

Or just get an OSS DM system and munge it together with the old DB. Perhaps knowledgetree would be a starting point for that.
