From Drupal's perspective Sharepoint is not only gaining traction as a document portal, but as a platform for building Web sites. This worries me.
Yep - a document portal would be useful for various business (or not) sites. However I suppose that a real interest would be in creating a website using OOo and Drupal as an "integrated system". Suppose to be able to publish a "book" (drupal term) using a single document that will split in chapters and the like. Or similarly organzing a structured knowledge base or an ecommerce listing and then publish (and manage!) a whole set of nodes with a "single click" (ok, it will never be "one" but I suppose the concept is clear). This should be the target, IMNSHO. Something like this could "sell" - I mean: obviously not the product itself (free to dowload and use and the like) but support to it, courses on best practices and the like. I might have customers interested in it, I will investigate.
