I attended a local seminar today, "Accelerate your business with SharePoint Server", to learn more about SharePoint's capabilities as a potential collaborative authoring platform (now that there's a third-party tool, Syrinx SharePoint Connector, that can export Author-it content directly to SharePoint format). Here is some information I dug up on my return:
- SharePoint wikis can show changes between versions of a page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLM3T1mYflA
- SharePoint wiki categories (metadata) can be used to create dynamic tables of contents: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3dpYrfHpz0
- SocialMedia Samurai's advice is, in the short term, to consider OneNote hosted inside of SharePoint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojLvyigVMPc
- SharePoint Knowledge Base Solution Accelerator is an example of the powerful plug-ins available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Log-wVhJ-g4
Note that SharePoint 2010 is said to have significantly enhanced wiki features over what is available today. Some compelling features of SharePoint are its native support for document management and the ease with which power users can build forms and structures. Flash, video, and other BLOBs, however, are inefficiently stored in SharePoint, requiring management by third-party tools such as StoragePoint.
