Well, the USAF in its wisdom has deployed EIM (Enterprise Information Management) which is SharePoint under the hood. I'm not very impressed with InfoShare and the input documents you can create, but that may be because they are only showing us the very, very basics doing this deployment phase and we are expected to spend our own local training dollars to learn more.
I was just interested if there were in viable alternatives. v/r //SIGNED// Stephen S.

There is NOTHING in the world as badly broken as Sharepoint, sorry. What is it you are trying to build? A CMS? http://cmsmatrix.org/ (Try Drupal!) A wiki? Wikipedia or Dokuwiki or... A document management system? I hear great things about http://www.alfresco.com/ An instant website? Sharepoint is a really bad combination of a user-controlled site, with badly designed administrative features, wiki-like features, poor document sharing, bad workflow designs, etc. Like Oracle or EIS systems, if you have a set of high-priests who can spend fulltime configuring and maintaining a system, it can do remarkable things. But if you want easy-to-install, maintain, configure, etc. look elsewhere.
