Bless me father, for I have silenced. It's been 22 days since my last posting.
Ahhh... So I'm stoked that I now have some new ground to break! The last gig is just about up, and I'm getting ready to start on the next one. This is one of my favorite points in a project. The blank slate. The white canvas.
Looks like this one's going to be an Internet facing branding portal, where the client can provide advertising and marketing agencies with brand guidelines and product images. The client previously used a graphics server product that was built by Adobe, but is no longer supported. Equilibrium's MediaRich for SharePoint product looks like it's going to be a good fit in MOSS for the needs that the client has.
This client also has some interesting requirements around how a user is able to access the site, and it looks like the Community Kit for SharePoint: Internet/Extranet Edition Forms-Based Authentication solution is going to hit the mark pretty close. We're going to need a custom workflow on the Site Membership Review List, but that should be fairly easy to integrate into the solution.
We're going to be doing some CMS with some heavy customizations, too, so that should be a lot of fun. We've got a very talented designer that we're working with, and I can't wait to see how the final product is going to look. From the comps I've seen, it's going to be very slick.
I'm also looking forward to getting back to the blogging. Being that we've got the CKS: Internet and MediaRich lined up, I'm hoping to document the process of the install and configuration, as well as the migration of client's digital assets from the old, unsupported Adobe product to the Equilibrium product. Did I mention that the Adobe product is no longer supported? Well, it's not. Nice.
So, stay tuned. I'm warming up a new VHD in my dev domain in the morning...
