The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007

"But for Web publishing, the key issue is Word conversion, and here MOSS 2007 still strikes us as a tad immature. Upon conversion, the entire text of the Word document goes into a single field in the CMS. If you want more granular conversion, you have to write a converter routine to do so. To convert a Word document, you find in SharePoint and right-click. The SharePoint folder must be mapped to a particular locale in your website. Seems a git clumsy. "

Microsoft's enviable CMS FAQ

12-Oct-2005   --  

Say what you will about Microsoft CMS ("MCMS"). I have criticized the company in the past and possess misgivings about what the next rev of the software means for current customers. But you have to be impressed by the volume of publicly-accessible MCMS resources. Check out the latest version of the official MCMS FAQ, which seems quite comprehensive and mercifully lacking in the kind of officious, take-it-or-leave-it tone that other vendors often dispense on private support sites. For example, see the very specific answer for "Implementing an RSS feed for a MCMS Web site." After reviewing the code, my first reaction is: why does generating a feed have to be this hard? My second reaction is: why doesn't every other vendor publish this kind of material openly?
