Many question about what will happen to MCMS in the new Office 12 wave. Well there is a lot that will change where WSS will be the foundation for about everything. I just did a session on Web Content Management and Web Content Management will shift to WSS as well (as expected). How will this relate to MCMS 2.0?
- Web content management will migrate to WSS, using the MasterPages mechanism as the templates.
- Channels will be
Area’s subwebs
- Postings will be pages in a document library
- Placeholders will be ContentTypes
- There will be a 100% content upgrading support from MCMS 2.0 to WSS
So, exciting things will happen in the next version and I really can’t wait to test it out with SharePoint 3 beta 1 that will be available in a few months!
