SharePoint Projects on CodePlex
Just wanted to highlight the current SharePoint projects listed on CodePlex.
SharePoint Community Kit
This project is used for the development of the
SharePoint Community Kit, which consists of a Standard
Edition and multiple specialized and value add editions,
each of which enables practically anyone to create very
quickly a functional community website on Windows SharePoint
Services V3 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
SharePoint Stramit Document Library Browser
SharePoint Stramit Document Library Browser is a free
package of 3 Treeview WebPart for the SharePoint document
library. I have always complained about the lack of
navigation options that are in the the document library
feature of SharePoint. Lots of people speak about migrating
all shared documents from a WSS site.
SharePoint Learning Kit
The SharePoint Learning Kit is a community-source
eLearning tool that integrates with Learning Gateway. Rich
content is supported with full SCORM 2004 compliance and
basic functions are supported for any electronic
document.
Windows Sharepoint Services Site Directory Web Part
Project
This is a security trimmed Windows Sharepoint
Services Web Part project that will display to the user the
sites that s/he has access to. It uses a simple hierarchic
tree view to provide easy navigation and access to all the
permissible sites, and uses the built-in sharepoint icons to
display the types of the sites.
Office SharePoint Server Search Web Parts
Powerful, extensible web parts for Office SharePoint
Server search.
SharePoint Forums Web Part
The SharePoint Forums Web Part is a free, open
source, single web part that provides a more feature rich
discussion board for SharePoint Portal Server and Windows
SharePoint Services based sites.
Database Metadata Generator for the Business Data Catalog
A tool that automatically generates database metadata
for Office SharePoint Server 2007’s Business Data
Catalog.
RSS FeedReader
An aggregate syndicated feed reader for SharePoint in
web part format. This web part is designed to display
several RSS and Atom feeds in a single web part with
configurable option such as what to display and caching
capabilities for the feed data.
Most of the projects are active and have releases. One of them, the Office SharePoint Server Search Web Parts, seems already abandoned with no releases and no sight or sound of the owner even in it’s forums. Otherwise, SharePoint is alive and well on CodePlex. Here’s to seeing more SharePoint oriented projects up there!
