L'ACTUALITÉ DES WIKIS
Un projet coopératif pour construire le PointWiki

SharePoint and the Best-of-Breed Wiki

Microsoft's Lawrence Liu shares the positioning of Share Point's wiki offering and how it relates to the Best-of-Breed wiki, Socialtext:As I stated quick emphatically during my "SharePoint Collaboration and Community Tools" session at the European Share Point Conference last Tuesday, the wiki functionality in WSS 3.0 was not designed to compete directly with best-of-breed wiki products like Social Text, but rather, it's the integration of a plethora of collaboration and community features that make WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 best of breed as a whole. My presentation slidedeck is available for download here.

In fact, Social Text is the process of developing a new version of their Social Point webparts that will be compatible with WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007. The key competitive advantage of Share Point has always been and will continue to be in the foreseeable future the breadth of integrated collaborative and community-based applications that are provided out of the box or can easily be developed with Share Point rich platform services. I believe that the built-in wiki functionality is sufficient for a very large percentage of our customer base, and many customers have indeed standardized on the Share Point wiki as part of their overall standardization on Share Point as the enterprise collaborative application platform. More and more Share Point customers who want advanced wiki functionality are looking to the specialized wiki ISVs like Social Text to provide it with an integrated user experience in Share Point by way of 3rd party webparts. Mike Gotta's gut tells him that Share Point will enhance its wiki and Microsoft will crush its erstwhile partners with a forthcoming release.  I too fear this waking giant.  Part of my job is an uneasy stomach.  But I did add this comment to his post:Yes, we expect our value to erode release-to-release, if we don't continue to release ourselves [..]
