I used, to some extent, the first to versions of it and found it complicated and lacking, however, I've heard much more positive responses based on the current version. Two questions that come to my mind with regard to SharePoint that I'd like to know is: 1.) Does it require Active Directory? 2.) How does it "look" and "work" with non-Microsoft browsers? Perhaps you could answer those questions? -t On Dec 13, 2007, at 2:45 PM, Joseph Mesterhazy wrote: Well really the first thing that came to my mind was Sharepoint. It does pretty much everything that was discussed, wikis, versioning control, document management and collaboration, etc. I'm boggled why it wasn't discussed, really.

During the voting we were asked which one we'd choose, along with an option "D - Other". As I remember, there were a number of votes for "D - Other", but when it was opened up to suggestions there was only one, PHPvB I believe. This lead me to wonder why "D - Other" was voted so much; was it because what was seen in the three solutions wasn't liked, because it was felt there is a better solution but not sure what it is or felt there is a better solution but were hesitant to mention it during the session? Just curious what your thoughts were. -- Troy Murray Developer Michigan State University Biomedical Research and Informatics Center (BRIC) 100 Conrad Hall East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-432-4248 Fax: 517-353-9420 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Calendar HTML - http://www.icalx.com/html/troymurray72/month.php?cal=BRIC+Work iCalendar - http://www.icalx.com/public/troymurray72/BRIC%20Work.ics -- Troy Murray Developer Michigan State University Biomedical Research and Informatics Center (BRIC) 100 Conrad Hall East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-432-4248 Fax: 517-353-9420 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Calendar HTML - http://www.icalx.com/html/troymurray72/month.php?cal=BRIC+Work iCalendar - http://www.icalx.com/public/troymurray72/BRIC%20Work.ics
