I have lready upgraded to WSS v3 and I must say at the moment I am really impressed with weaht I see.

We have just shelved a major project with 2 other schools as moving to Sharepoint Portal (the whole MS Learning Gateway) would be a tad too expensive ... so we are trying a few things out with WSS instead. We will still be able to vreate SCORM materials to share between schools ... and I almost have the Head's agreement that all school created materials with be Creative Commons or similar ... just got to fine tune the agreement.

I was going to use WSS for the Staff intranet and attempt to implement the Helpdesk and various other features which would go some way to satisfying BECTA's FITS Framework. I'd be interested to read other people's ideas for developing this along with a VLE.

Just installing WSS V3 now, lets see how good it is!

Those of you that have it will still be able to use it to produce/author content for SLK and import it in however there are a couple of authoring tools coming out just after BETT that will do the job also.
