The Transformation of EndUserSharePoint.com Begins

This entry is part of a series, EUSP Site Transformation»

This is the first of a series of articles documenting the process of moving content from a WordPress blog, a bbPress PHP forum, and a SharePoint 2007 MOSS site into SharePoint 2010.

On May 13th I wrote an article describing the growing pains EndUserSharePoint.com is having. We’re closing in on 1600 articles and 11,000 comments, making it nearly impossible to find anything on the site. Not only that, it’s hard to find specific areas of content based upon user level. My answer: let’s move to SharePoint 2010 to see what it can REALLY do for an End User.

I look at 2010 as another platform for displaying information, making that information more findable and learning a bit along the way on how it works. I’ve started by laying out the infrastructure of the new site, including locations for existing content, along with placeholders for new content.

I started creating the placeholder sites yesterday and will document the pitfalls as they come up. Stay tuned…
