I'm not up for working on CMIS at this time, personally, but I think there is an open-source toolkit from Alfresco that might help if it is not already being used. John Newton was very keen on encouraging CMIS adoption, of course.
I also agree that using the open-standards route for an adapter is a good idea. Although Microsoft was very prominent on the OASIS CMIS Committee, and one of the contributors of the initial specifications, I don't know which version of Sharepoint provides CMIS access nor how well-developed it is. This seems like the place to start though: <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff934619.aspx>. This is interesting too, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services>. The client-side Apache Chemistry code is in Java, but it might be useful to examine for design ideas. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Jürgen Schmidt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 00:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Oracle Connector for SharePoint On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 3:10 PM, David Nelson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 3:58 PM, Marcus (OOo) <[email protected]> > wrote: > > The Connector for MS SharePoint (also for Alfresco's CMS and Oracle's > > Universal Content Management (UCM)) wasn't part of the OOo development. > > It was working for OOo, too, yes, but the main point was to have it for > > StarOffice resp.

I was deeply involved in both the Alfresco and the Sharepoint connector and a more general CMIS connector was in our heads already ;-) It will be probaly one of the first projects where we can benefit from another Apache project (Chemistry).
