iGoogle lets you move self-selected content chunks around on the page.
Content includes gmail, this-and-that-of-the-day, news streams, all sorts of
fun stuff. This might be a good proof-of-concept demo to show your devs:

[IxDA Discuss] FW: Sharepoint

2008-01-18 Thread frank dahle
I'm in a situation where I'm forced to design a concept for an intranet based 
on Sharepoint 2007.
So I'm trying to get our Sharepoint developers to accept to build an intranet 
based on a dynamic dashboard concept.
In short this means a library of modules (web parts) from where an employee can 
choose and put into his mySite - and into other sites he's responsible for on 
this intranet.
 
It should then be possible to drag the chosen modules around and dynamicly 
change their positions inside a pre-defined grid.
Employees should even be able to store several different mysite desktops 
adjusted to the different kinds of roles one single employee can have.It seems 
to me that just one mySite isn't enough, because one person often has as 
different roles as: leader, project manager, project partisipant, sales person, 
key account...
 
Problem is: the developers say it's to complicated to make this as user 
friendly as I want it.
I want a WYSIWYG interface, where it's easy to experiment and try out and store 
different layouts for each role the employee has.
But in Sharepoints standard interface wher you ca do this, nothing is easily 
recognizable and it's far too easy to delete stuff by accident.
Also you can only store one single mySite layout per employee.
 
 
I could go on with all their arguments against a more dynamic and at the same 
time intuitive intranet/mySite.
 
But It's more interesting to ask you if you know of any good examples of this 
kind of concept based on Sharepoint - OR other platforms for that matter!?
It would help to show any concept like this that really works and is available 
online..
 
 
thanx
 
frank

  Would be curious to learn about any experiences that UX/UI practitioners  
 have had designing within a Sharepoint environment. Any particular  
 constraints, successes, regrets, warnings are cheerfully received. Thanks  
 all!
