We have migrated to a new version, Sharepoint Portal Services 3. As a result:
- Our Portal has a new address with a https certificate;
- Now it has a mobile version for those working with modems and GPRS;
- It works much better with Firefox 2.0, which is handy for our Linux team;
- Portal has a RSS subscription, although it doesn’t work with all the Feedreaders;
- Posts for the Portal can be typed in Office 2007 (through Blog API), and messages can be edited remotely;
- Each message has a place for the avatar, which can add some implicit information about the author;
- Discussions accompanying some news and interesting information have much better usability;
- Portal is Wiki-compatible.
- Outlook is connected with SPS, and we can enjoy the search and other offline advantages.
As for the subscriptions, RSS might well be better.
