Has SharePoint Magazine reviewed the developer framework, Mobile Entree (www.mobileentree.com)? Most of the organizations I consult with have, at some point, wanted to make their SharePoint portals more mobile friendly. It would be great to see a review of this product by SharePoint Magazine.

I'm a pure newbie to SP, so I'd love to see a SP 101 section. Something that focuses on the basics - How about SP and AD integration? Why isn't there a simple web part that can pull the user contact info that we've entered into AD into an SP site? An article on creating web parts?

My current pain is the Team Discussion web part in WSS3.0. I wish it had a selection of themes, and a little more functionality like a web discussion forum based on phpBB or ubbthreads. The default Team Discussion web part has only Flat or Threaded views, no Moderator tools, quoting seems to be everything by default, and it generally looks pretty unappealing. Would love to be able to drop a 'real' forum in there.....

I really like to see the creation of practical applications using lists. For example a simple training tracking applications where you have individual lists for Employees, Locations, Instructors, Courses, Schedules and Results. Well the question is how to get a mega join report from all the lists together. That will be really cool, do we need to use Desginer & Infopath, or jump into the mega mess of a complex join query to the UserData and retrieve what we need !!!.

Most of the content on SharePoint is around MOSS - we focus on the SME market and the IT maturity levels are pretty low. We are finding WSS is a fantastic stepping stone to SharePoint and our focus will remain around this product for the foreseeable future. The problem with this, is that that when we need help on a solution the help is mainly focused on MOSS and doesn't always work in a WSS environment or the feature is no available in WSS - it would be great to see a section on WSS only

I would like to see a detailed article on users, user profiles and groups within WSS and MOSS. I am a seasoned SharePoint developer and consultant and I think people assume too much and know too little about this important area of the product.

As a Sharepoint, biztalk & dotnet enthusiast & coder, involved in good amount of project related to internet facing sites, intranet & extranet sites. I have been using Sharepoint from its 2003 version to MOSS 2007. Also integrating other technologies, tools with sharepoint viz, Project Server, MS-CRM 3.0, PeopleSoft, Biztalk.

4. Applying Changes to Sites already deployed to Production (we have heard about Chris OBrien talking about Feature Stapling), how do you apply a Change Request (used in SDLC) which has changes to existing modules/features of the site and new enhancements and modules to an existing Production deployed site.
5. Using Workflows (when to use WWF and sharepoint OOTB Workflow features)
6. How do you convert a ASP.NET site to a Sharepoint Site
7. Configuring End to End SSRS (Sql Server Reporting Services with Sharepoint.2007).
