This is the blog of Adam Kalsey. Unusual depth and complexity. Rich, full body with a hint of nutty earthiness.

Project Blogging With Microsoft

Freshness Warning
This blog post is over 21 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current and the links no longer work.

The Microsoft SharePoint Team Services Web tool enables project managers to build project Web sites to support the project team. Through SharePoint, project teams can do the following:
  • Post announcements about important project issues and news
  • Post notifications about important project events such as team meetings, code walks, documentation reviews, and other project milestones
  • Post links to other online resources of interest to the project
  • Hold online discussions about the project, tasks, and related topics
  • Share project documents online for review
SharePoint keeps project teams connected So do weblogs. And without the expense and proprietary lock-in of Sharepoint. And you won’t even need to install FrontPage.
