SharePoint and Groove Bidirectional Syncing with MS Project and MindManager

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.

Can you go the other pay and use MindManager to publish into TeamDirection? I'm currious because I use Mindsystems ThemeReader to publish mind maps based on the thematic content of a document. I would be interested in exploring the possible advantages of publishing mind maps from MindManager to TeamDirection.

Any Ideas?

Instantly create thematic mind maps of any document or ebook!

MS Word 2007 Add In allows you to create instant MindManager mind maps of your documents based on its thematic content. Themes are represented as Topic Nodes in the mind map. It also produces a Synopsis and Detailed Summary of the document, and allows you to locate every paragraph that contains that theme.

Our partner Mindsystems has released the second and Business Edition of ThemeReader for $100 US. It’s a great product and incorporates Cirilab’s Knowledge Generation Engine technology, and works with XP, Vista, Word 2003 and 2007, WordPerfect X3, and the new MindManager 7. Free Trial. Give it a try!
