I have been receiving a steady stream of questions around Web Studio and enquiries around our strategy for future releases with regards to similar functionality, so thought it would be helpful to discuss the product focus.

UPDATE – Alfresco Community 3.3 is now available for download which includes the AWE files. Download the alfresco-community-webeditor-3.3.zip file from the Community download page.
As we approach the final stages of development for 3.3 functionality, I thought it would be useful to write a brief introduction to the AWE to help people get started. Please note that this article describes features currently found in HEAD, and are subject to change.
The Alfresco Web Editor (AWE) is a Spring Surf based web application that utilises the Forms Service to provide in-context editing capabilities to Alfresco repository content (non AVM). Alfresco 3.3 also introduces the Web Editor Framework (WEF), which is a client side JavaScript framework that is a dependency of the AWE. More on the WEF later. The AWE is packaged as a stand-alone WAR file so that it can be deployed to web applications that are remote to the Alfresco application server.

There is a wealth of different resources available for Alfresco WCM including the Alfresco Wiki, the Content Community, forums, pre-recorded webinars to name but a few. The following is a moving list of various resources for Alfresco WCM. Please add a comment with your suggestions if you have found a valuable resource. I aim to keep this list short, hence resources will be removed as they become out of date or are replaced.
Note: These resources do not cover installation and setup. For further information on installation see http://www.alfresco.com/products/ecm/enttrial/

Recently I have been asked a few times for an example of how to copy content from the DM Alfresco repository into the AVM (WCM) repo, so I thought I would post a simple example using the JavaScript API to help people get started. It can be a little tricky getting the paths etc correct if you are new to Alfresco, so hopefully this will assist.
The 3.1 JavaSccript API wiki page shows the required parameters:
ScriptNode copy(ScriptNode source, ScriptNode destination, String name)
Download the example web script here. This web script is based on some example code taken from the Alfresco Forge project – FlexSpaces which contains some great examples of WCM web scripts.

**NOTE: This articles uses features found in HEAD which are considered to be work-in-progress. This article is for demo purposes only.**
In this article I will look at deploying and consuming WCM content from a SURF web application. To make this very simple, we have created a standalone Tomcat 6 bundle which has an example SURF web application pre-configured (thanks to Michael Uzquiano for all the assistance!). This is the same web app as used in the previous articles, so all previous material is still relevant.
Once the Tomcat bundle is deployed and your WCM instance configured, you will have working examples of:
Initially I will describe the steps required to get up and running, and then I will dissect the configuration so that we fully understand how it is working.

During part 1, the process of creating a simple web page using the SURF framework was discussed detailing creating a basic template and various components. Next I will look at adding additional pages and building some simple navigation utilising SURF’s “Page Association” features.
