CIT: MOSS Wikis    (3GO9)

(MOSS is Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server)    (3GN0)

Tony Gavino, Jack Hyman, and Vincent Wong of the Software Engineering Section of CIT will demo a generic Wiki site built using Microsoft's Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Wiki engine. Site members can share knowledge, brainstorm ideas, collaborate with their team on a design, create an instruction guide, build an encyclopedia of knowledge, or just write down daily information in an easily accessible and modifiable format. MOSS Wiki is a potential service that CIT may provide to the NIH community. Many NIH ICs use Microsoft web products.    (3GN1)
