A new Technical Article is online discussing the cases in which Dispose() should be called.  A must read for all SharePoint developers.

One of the patches on June 13, 2006 is causing problems on some pages. A few pages to review to get up to speed and the work-around:

InfoWorld's article

InfoWorld posted an article describing some of the things that cause visitors to leave. One of those things -- flashing ads that distract the reader.

On the page, I'm sure you can guess what I saw...

How would you address this scenario:

I have a web part that displays information from a legacy system. The information is very important to that system's user community -- so much so that it deserves to be displayed on the home page (WSS, not SPS). However, the legacy system user community is about 25% of the organizations employees. This 25% is influential, and mostly technology averse.

If the information applied to 100% (or somthing close to it) of the employees, then I would update the Shared View. But I would rather not subject 75% to an empty web part. And forcing the 25% to manually add the web part to their Personal View is a nonstarter.

I encourage comments/questions on my blog site.

The SharePoint Team blog has another entry today: Configure it out

Read the post carefully and you can discover additional details about the next version. My favorite -- "simultaneous vanilla LDAP & Windows auth (on separate URL namespaces, both hosting the same base content)."

I knew that non-Active Directory authentication was coming, but this is huge! Employees authenticated via AD, external users authenticated in a different fashion. If the external connector license is reasonable, SharePoint deployments should grow dramatically. (As if they weren't already!)

Some time ago, Infotech Canada release a theme pack for WSS. But, if you want a custom theme that looks exactly like you want, you should get in touch with Heather Solomon. First-class!

Todd Bleeker has a great explanation of sites and other SharePoint nouns.

Bob Mixon is wrapping up a new WebPart to replace the default Quick Launch. The sample images look very nice!

(Bob hints at some upcoming WebParts as well. Read his new blog site for details.)
