Another wiki for MOSS 2007

In a well-timed PR move, Microsoft is now trying to push the hype around MOSS 2007 to new heights with a connector from wiki vendor Atlassian to SharePoint. Microsoft released the news at the opening of the sold-out Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, and it has received widespread coverage. Many SharePoint licensees have requested integration with Atlassian and with the new connector, they can use Atlassian inside of MOSS.

You actually now have several wiki options in SharePoint. MOSS 2007 already comes with its own built-in wiki features. Also competing wiki vendor Socialtext has a SharePoint connector which came out in October 2006. So you the buyer now face a classic portal dilemma here: Use the built-in MOSS wiki service or bolt in a best-of-breed alternative like Atlassian or Socialtext. Alternatives are good, but remember that with SharePoint -- as any other portal -- administrators easily get in over their head.

I don't know any enterprise customer that wants — or believes it remotely possible — to obtain all those services from a single vendor. No, this is a vendor fantasy, getting peddled by analyst shills.
