  • Farsi language pack for SharePoint 2007

    We are almost completed our Persian language pack for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Beta 2, first and foremost I wanna say that it’s my own language pack without any support from Microsoft, as a result it could not be complete like other language packs and I’ll complete it and make it available for a free download if I can get any official support from the Microsoft. Until that time I can create a dedicated site collection and your administration access for evaluation and test drive purpose, just ping me a note. I’m using  this language pack for my own projects and I have completed first and second implemented projects and soon third will be available on the internet as a beta situation, can you see how interested we are about implementing enterprise projects based on the SharePoint Technology, three projects even before the release!? Medical Education & Development Center ( is a research center web site hosting members area, task & project management, e-journal, voting priority of future research ideas and so on )http://80.191.144.36/Default.aspx

     

    ICT & Research Workspace at Alzahra University  ( University extranet web site hosting teachers and students dedicated areas, a rich collaboration area between instructors and learners, scheduling classes, student submitting process, live communication & Instant messaging and future planed for an e-learning environment based on SCORM 2004 )

     I have experience of 5 enterprise projects based on the SharePoint 2003 (you can see some of them on the about), and now by the great enhancements and functionality of SharePoint 2007, I’m sure a lot of solutions can be provided on this platform, but my issue is Persian calendar &  language support for this technology and my goal  writing here is some kind of collaboration and talking to others and perhaps a guy from Microsoft to fined a way  encouraging Microsoft supporting Persian for the future development of this technology.I have a contact to Gwyneth Marshall, a Program Manager in the Office International Services team, she told me it must be followed by the Microsoft Local Language Program, but this program is based on a collaboration between Microsoft and local Government and as you know  main countries that uses Persian language (Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan) are in a bad situation and any direct contact with the most important Persian country (Iran)  is almost impossible. But as you know there are a lot of other peoples all around the world uses Persian as their  language ( Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Pakistan, Southern Russia, Indian subcontinent, …) also a lot of Persian peoples in United State.Finally, we have an smart research team working and localizing Microsoft products and technologies since 2001, we have already Persian version of products like: SharePoint 2001 & 2003, CMS 2002, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Project 2003, Project Server 2003 & Microsoft CRM . Right now we are working on the WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 and all the Microsoft Office 2007 products, and I’m sure this can be an excellent localized version for Persian if I can have some kind of documents, tools or any recommendations from Microsoft.
  • Suggesting OSS versus MOSS terminology

    Why you are using Microsoft for Office SharePoint Server, and using Windows SharePoint Services alone!?

    As you know Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is a free service by Windows Server 2003, and Office SharePoint Server (OSS) is an enterprise server product serving your office applications especially by a deep integration with the Microsoft Office products. Also we are all know that both of them are Microsoft Products.

    So I’m suggesting OSS  & WSS  for an easy way talking about.
