[Web4lib] Sharepoint 07 as a CMS

[Jonathan Bloy]

We're looking to move to a content management system for our library's website, and I've made a proposal to our IT department that a Drupal be installed for that purpose.  They've told me the campus will be getting Sharepoint 07 in the coming months, and we could utilize its CMS capabilities for our website.

I should mention that I'm a strong advocate for accessible sites that follow web standards.  Currently, the campus is using Sharepoint 03 version as an intranet.  From my experience with that, and what I've been reading about the 07 version, I must admit to being a little disheartened.

Is anyone currently using Sharepoint 07 successfully as a CMS for their library website?  Any experience, or examples you can share?
