"Dear eSpace Members, We are writing to inform you that the current supply and maintenance contract for the existing eSpace platform ends this September. A decision has now been reached to migrate the service to SharePoint WSS 3.0 as this is an option we can achieve without external resources and it will allow us to continue supporting communities by offering a collaboration tool. There will inevitably be some loss of functionality in moving to Sharepoint. This is unavoidable due to the restrictions that have been placed on resources for the project. However, the transition to SharePoint should be considered to be a phased migration, and what functionality we cannot include at first we may be able to add in 2011 on a priority basis. Whatâs next? The eSpace Team will be contacting you soon to inform you of the decision over which accounts we will be migrating. Anyone who has logged onto the site in the last year will be considered an active user and their account will be migrated. We hope to make the transition as smooth as possible for our users. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at nhscfh.espace@xxxxxxxx -- This message was sent by an administrator in the 'eSpace Central' group at NHS CFH eSpace.

So it looks as though they don't have anyone who can run an existing system in Drupal, and think it is better and cheaper to redo it in Microsoft's Sharepoint than to learn how. I doubt this is true. Anyone know anything about this system and software? -- A -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
