Anyone who has worked on SharePoint (or WSS) for any length of time has certainly encountered many situations where a site or list would be very helpful. I had just a situation today -- an ad hoc committee is forming to organize a “Day of Service” for the company.
I responded with an offer to create and moderate a WSS site for the group. That led me to think about other ways that the SharePoint story could be spread. I would love to get feedback about how you've approached these situations.
