Ok I know I ripped of the title but I do kinda reference slash promote the “book”.
I have already talked about SachaC at the first TorCamp enterprise 2.0 gathering but I have finally got of the perch and editted together the presentation that Bryce & I did with lots of help from Carsten.
The presentation is about development methodologies that are associated with Web 2.0 and how they can relate to the Enterprise, the experiences of the Navantis team on developing enterprise application with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and a good discussion on the good and bad points of all the methods

Looking forward to the next time we get together for EnterpriseCamp Enterprise2.0. I really want to show SharePoint enabled collaboration with OneNote.

A week ago Martin Cleaver asked me if we could get together and take a look at the Wikis in the new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
Now everything I had seen in Microsoft demos around their new wikis did not impress me. It was always shown to me as a WYSIWIG webpart in a webpart page, which made me think that MSFT didn’t understand the nature of a wiki.
So Martin and I created a new Wiki site in SharePoint and started to try out some of the features and I’m glad to report that is actually fairly promising.
WebParts, WYSIWYG and WikiCode

It is great, although expected, that Wiki Sites can also contain other types of Lists and Libraries (Documents, Picture, and Form)

So I think that SharePoint wikis look pretty promising. Hopefully they will make some more improvements and bug fixes before the release but I’m sure that the SharePoint community will quicky extend the functionality or improve the product just as they have with the SharePoint Forums Web Part.
