On top of the 30 Windows SharePoint Services Applications introduced in August of last year, Microsoft has released 3 new WSS Applications :

  • Discussion Database

Team members can send discussion items to other team members for review, attach documents to discussion items and set alerts to receive notification when a discussion item is added or changed.

  • Team Work Site
    This application provides an Announcement List to keep team members informed of important news, a Discussion Board to support and encourage discussions regarding topics of team interest, a central Task List to record and monitor team tasks and their progress, an Events List for scheduling and supporting team meetings, and a central Document Library for the storage and retrieval of important team reference documents.
