Those series of articles I wrote about SharePoint and Groove web services have finally turned into a real project. Well, still in Beta, but getting close enough for both demos and
downloads.
The product works with both SharePoint 2003 and 2007, as well as Groove 2007.
Demo #1 shows TeamDirection publishing MindManager topics and subtopics to a SharePoint server-- and a hosted one at that (free publicity for you, Apptix). Team members then use their browser to update an assigned task in the task list. TeamDirection gathers the latest data and reports back to MindManager. We still have to package it nicely with our site layout, but you can get a direct, sneak peak
here.
Demo #2 is similar, but this time TeamDirection publishes MS Project tasks and subtasks to a Groove workspace. Groove doesn't actually ship with a Task List, so TeamDirection provides one for you. It's similar to the SharePoint Task List, and only people with proper permissions can update their tasks. Once again, TeamDirection gathers the latest data and reports back to MS Project. Again, nice packaging to follow, but you can get a direct, sneak peak
here.
These demos show TeamDirection Project Plus 2007. If you like what you see, go download the beta
here and share a task or topic today.
And yes, that's my voice narrating. Sorry about that.
