看到国际社区的邮件列表上的一个邮件，觉得有趣，转发如下：

I have used Zope / CMF for a few years for Intranet
and Internet purposes, it worked fine and still does.
I now have to setup collaborative work sites for my
company needs and, given our experience with Zope,
Plone seems like a good candidate, requiring minor
customization.

Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server (SPS) and Windows
Sharepoint Services (WSS) have been suggested
as alternatives, providing better MS Office
integration at the expense of vendor lock-in / closed
source
solution / Windows only.

I now need to confirm that using Plone on a large
scale is the way to go instead of the Microsoft
solution.

I have noticed the following main differences :

Plone pros / SPS&WSS; cons :
       1 - SPS has an expensive per-server and per-user
licencing scheme
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/sharepoint/howtobuy/default.mspx).
       2 - WSS is less expensive the SPS but has some
limitations :
               100 simultaneous users . 1 transaction/second.
               WMSDE does not support full-text search.
               You cannot deploy WMSDE in web farm/clustered
configurations.
       3 - SPS / WSS creates and uses local NTFS
permissions, so migrating data between systems seems
to be difficult.
       4 - SPS / WSS is closed source and proprietary.
       5 - SPS / WSS seems to have limited support for
non-Windows clients, except perhaps Macs (any
experience).
       6 - Plone has an active community and a wide variety
of free/open source products.
       7 - Plone can run on different server OSes /
architectures (Solaris, Linux, Windows / Intel, Sparc)
       8 - Plone integrates great with our LDAP directory
       9 - Plone is easier to install and deploy

SPS&WSS; pros / Plone cons :
       1 - SPS/WSS has a better integration with MS Office.
       2 - Management feels it is harder to find people with
Zope/Plone/Python experience than with SPS/ASP
experience
       3 - SPS provides a stable versioning functionality
out of the box

Has anyone experience with SPS or WSS with regard to :
       1 - Does LDAP integration work ?
       2 - Does SPS / WSS work fine on Mac clients ?
       3 - Migrating data from one server to another ?

Any help, comments, off-list emails are welcome?

Thanks in advance

PS: other alternatives ?
