The SharePoint Team blog has another entry today: Configure it out

Read the post carefully and you can discover additional details about the next version. My favorite – "simultaneous vanilla LDAP & Windows auth (on separate URL namespaces, both hosting the same base content)."

I knew that non-Active Directory authentication was coming, but this is huge! Employees authenticated via AD, external users authenticated in a different fashion. If the external connector license is reasonable, SharePoint deployments should grow dramatically. (As if they weren't already!)

Some time ago, Infotech Canada release a theme pack for WSS. But, if you want a custom theme that looks exactly like you want, you should get in touch with Heather Solomon. First-class!

Todd Bleeker has a great explanation of sites and other SharePoint nouns.

Bob Mixon is wrapping up a new WebPart to replace the default Quick Launch. The sample images look very nice!

(Bob hints at some upcoming WebParts as well. Read his new blog site for details.)
