3 new Windows SharePoint Services Applications

On top of the 30 Windows SharePoint Services Applications introduced in August of last year, Microsoft has released 3 new WSS Applications :

  • Discussion Database
    This application for Windows SharePoint Services allows team members to create, review and reply to discussion topics. Team members can send discussion items to other team members for review, attach documents to discussion items and set alerts to receive notification when a discussion item is added or changed.
  • Document Library
    This application allows team members to create, upload, checkout, review, and modify documents. Team members can send documents to other team members for review, assign documents to other team member members and set alerts to receive notification when a document is modified. In addition to the standard SharePoint search functionality, this application allows the user to see additional views of the document library, including By Category, By Author and By Review Status.
  • Team Work Site
    This application provides an Announcement List to keep team members informed of important news, a Discussion Board to support and encourage discussions regarding topics of team interest, a central Task List to record and monitor team tasks and their progress, an Events List for scheduling and supporting team meetings, and a central Document Library for the storage and retrieval of important team reference documents.

  1. Ben,
    As you may know, the functionaly is also standard in Windows SharePoint Services today. From what I know some revisions have been made to this.
    Also there is no claim that Microsft “invents” all of this functionality; it is common in every platform and also in Microsoft’s 😉

  2. Not the most original of ideas are they these? They’ve been in Lotus notes forever.
    I guess the expression is, “if you can’t beat them, join them”.
    Are these tools customizable? What dev skills are needed?

  4. Yes, Applications are customisable using Frontpage to name one option.
    Ofcourse end-users can also do some basic adjustments based on the standard management features in WSS

  6. Ben,
    Standard in WSS documents are stored in SQL server; unencrypted.
    Microsoft has a solution called Information Rights Manangement that allows RM on document level.
    Expect more to come in the next release of WSS later this year.
    As promised I will do a demo of stuff that WSS can do compared to Notes that will give you some nice insghts to the differences. give me 2-3 weeks because I am swamped with business at the moment 🙂

  7. Discussion Templates and Document Libraries.
    I am in awe. Truly, this puts SharePoint on the leading edge.

  8. Nathan,
    Not sure how up to speed you are on SharePoint, thius functionality has been in there from the start (2001).
    SharePoint in the leading edge ? : absolutely !

  9. Peter, if this functionality has been there from the start, why are these 3 *NEW* WSS applications? Either these applications weren’t there, or they aren’t new. Make up your mind.
