Unleashing SharePoint's Potential for the Real World

Hello

Well... after several months or maybe even several years I am posting to my blog.  I've got a couple ideas on what I can blog about during the next couple of weeks.

  1. Demystifying Ghosting and Unghosting -- IMO this will be a hot topic with the upcoming release of MOS 2007.  Raymond Mitchell and I made some interesting discoveries while working at a customer site this week.  I'm sure there will be a number of posts that the IW Team will have in this area related to migration from SharePoint v2 (WSS and SPS) to MOS 2007.
  2. Demystifying Users Security, Profiles, Members, etc., etc. in SPS v2 -- SharePoint v2 can be quite confusing when looking at all the place a "User" record exists.  This isn't very exciting, but it needs some clarification.  Plus, I like to use the term "Demystifying" in the topic...
  3. Creating a Framework for Accessing SharePoint List Data via Web Services -- Who knows if it is even necessary, but I think it's cool.  Plus, it's using a framework similar to one I've used on other non-SharePoint projects.  It's basically using the Data Mapper approach to map data coming from a SharePoint web service to a Domain Layer.
  4. General Consulting Topics -- I've been in the consulting world for over 7 years now.  I've accumulated some thoughts / opinions on what I believe make a good -- no *great --consultant.

*Side Note: While driving home, I realized saying great in the item above may sound a little arrogant. I'm definitely not saying I'm a great consultant... 

There it is.  My first post.  Jake - I wonder when you'll see this.  You'll have to give me some feedback.  Am I doing the link thing properly?
