I would just like to remind everyone that sharepoint as it currently exists is a really sucky technology. Maybe it is good if you are some nerdy microsoft company that has lots of generic .net developers on staff that can convince sharepoint to do useful things, but certainly out of the box it is quite a useless thing. Why does it suck?:

- bloat! It needs a whole server an even then it is damn slow.
- you need an it department to even have a chance with getting permissions correct
- user interface is horrible! Everything seems to be designed with right clicks in mind. Doesn’t work so smoothly in the web.
- security. When I put sharepoint on the Internet - I have all my accounts locked out because some phreaker is bruteforcing all our account passwords via the SQL server.

I should have made a wiki instead.
