Free document management software is something really hard to find.

Epiware (thanks Jim for the suggestion) is an open source document management solution built with PHP & MySQL.

In a business environment, such a document management system is very helpful as it makes all documents reachable for everyone and keeps the versions of the documents which is a great feature if there are many people editing the same document.
