WSRP Toolkit for SharePoint Released

modonovan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:49:28 GMT

I have been asked this question numerous times. “Does SharePoint produce WSRP compliant content, so that other portal technologies can render SharePoint content such as lists and web parts?” My answer would always be “No”, SharePoint is a WSRP consumer not a producer…well now there is some GREAT NEWS…..that has changed.

Microsoft has released the WSRP Toolkit for SharePoint to CodePlex. This toolkit consists of sample code for producing WSRP conformant content for SharePoint lists and libraries.

You can find the SharePoint Product Team announcement here http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2008/12/05/announcing-the-wsrp-toolkit-for-sharepoint.aspx, and

SharePoint Integration for Novell GroupWise

Stumbled across this product which allows for strong integration between SharePoint and GroupWise. There are still some (not many) customers in South Africa who have this scenario, and this product from Omni looks like it might just help them to be better connected.

“Riva synchronises SharePoint and GroupWise contacts, appointments, groups and project tasks. Use Riva to add GroupWise Web Parts to the SharePoint Portal interface. Transparent, server-side integration means end-users do not need to install any client plug-ins.”
