Offline SharePoint

New versions of Colligo Reader and Colligo Contributor have just been released. Colligo Reader, a free product for viewing SharePoint content offline, can be downloaded now. Colligo Contributor is available for purchase from the Webstore.

Reader Version 1.9 has a bunch of new features, including:

• Enhanced Synchronization Experience :

  • Background sync on startup and configurable intervals
  • Internet Explorer button for site sync selection
  • Drag & drop browser URL to launch site sync
  • Systray icon with sync status and stop sync option

• Configure Storage Location : Change storage location on local drive
• Picture Library Support : Read-only access to view picture libraries
• New Look : SharePoint 2007 UI for enhanced usability

Sorry for the blatant advertising, but I thought people might want to know that there will be a price increase on January 1, 2007 so if you are thinking about purchasing Contributor, it’s probably a good idea to do so before year end. Colligo has also introduced a new software assurance support option (called “Premium Support”) that entitles customers to major version upgrades. This will be important for people that have purchased a 1.x product so they can upgrade for free to Version 2.0 in February when it’s released. Version 2.0 will be compatible with MOSS 2007/WSS 3.0. In case you don’t know what’s coming in 2.0, the demo is online.
