We should integrate Groove with Sun ONE Portal Server to beef up our collaboration story Groove 2.5. CRN : Groove 2.5 poised to take webservices plunge [Jeroen Bekkers' Groove Weblog] In an interview last month, Ozzie, while not specifically addressing the upcoming release of his product, stressed the importance of opening up portals to collaboration. "The pain point Groove addresses is mobile and cross-enterprise access to things on SharePoint sites. A team might want to involve a partner in an interaction," he said. "They want to go to a solution provider site, click a button and designate pieces of the site to be brought offline. . . . Those pieces are replicated down into Groove more or less like a briefcase. Once in Groove, you can invite people from outside the enterprise to work on those things. . . . and those specific items are replicated back up to internal site," he said. I guess we should try to integrate Groove with Sun ONE Portal Server to beef up our collaboration story. 10:12:27 AM    comment []

Random thoughts: Weblogs in the workplace [WorkLog?] will only be efficient if parsed, scanned, sliced and diced by an in-house "Google". This is, of course, precisely what Google should be selling as a webservice. Secure indexing of weblogs and even email, accessible by its contributors only. By making this a webservice, content stays in its evironment, never leavng the confines of the corporations firewall. Is Google thinking this way?
