For those that didn’t get a chance to attend the webinar yesterday on using Office 2007 and Colligo to take WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 offline, we’ve put it up on the Colligo website. You can request it here. Many thanks to Dustin Miller of SharePoint Experts for the terrifc job he did. In the 35 mins, he goes through a pretty thorough discussion of the capabilities and concludes with a comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
If you have any comments or questions, just drop them here.

It’s official! Yes, they’re finally here Colligo Contributor 1.0 and Colligo Reader 1.0. We are very proud to announce their launch, Friday April 28, 2006. Thanks to the great work by the Colligo development team and the input and assistance of more the 300 beta testers it’s finally here. The last few weeks have been BUSY and now that we have 1.0 we can start working on the next release. The cycle never ends, but that’s the fun of software development. So past the hurdle and off to the next leg of the race….
On behalf of the Dev. team and myself, I would like to especially thank all the beta testers, a fantastic group of insightful, precise and articulate people. Thank you.

Cheers, Tony

Nice diagram to get a conceptual look of SharePoint within the business environment.
But I wonder how the diagram would look like to a client that isn’t connected to the Internet?

Dustin Miller has a killer roundup of the features in the upcoming WSS 3.0.
Some highlights from the list:
- Offline capabilities using Outlook and Groove
- Use of SharePoint sites for email archiving
- Users can participate in workflow from wherever they are editing – via SharePoint, Outlook, or the document itself. Workflows can be initiated from SharePoint or the document.
Well, for my very first Blog post, being able to announce the Beta 2 release
of Colligo for SharePoint is pretty cool.
Our Beta 1 went really well, we had a good number of testers from all around
the world, from whom we gathered a great deal of tremendously useful feedback.
So to everyone who helped us out on the Beta 1 testing we give a hearty thanks!
We really appreciate the time you spent and the excellent quality of your feedback.
Over the years, I’ve been an inhabitant of a number of Forums, but this is my
first real blog experience and I guess partially I’m tring to see how useful a
part it can play in the beta cycle. Obviously with this in mind, my primary mission
on this blog will be to discuss and gather general feedback on Beta 2. At the
moment, I see this as an additional means/path to gather insight into what people’s
pains are with respect to SharePoint Offline as it relates to Beta 2 heading to
the 1.0 release. Gain insights into particular "Use Cases" that need
to be addressed, what features and functionality are useful to you and what you
would like to see added going forward. Usability is a big deal for me, so I’d
like to talk about that. I’d even like to blue sky concepts for later releases.
Hopefully, we can develop a bit of a community and have Users/Testers talk
to each other as well as to me about what they need with respect to SharePoint
Offline and Colligo.
If you would like to sign up for the Beta 2 testing you can do so by going
here.
Best Regards, Tony
