Random things that I’m looking forward to with SharePoint 2010:
- Managed Metadata Service
- Enterprise Content Types
- Tagging and Rating (Taxonomy & Folksonomy)
- Content Organizer (routing content based on pre-set policies)
- Records Management (in place or upload to record center)
- Delete, Hold in-place, Archive with Link options
- Social features, social search, social bookmarking, search for user content
- My Sites: Customizable My Site templates, org chart, user’s activity feed
- User Profile Service; Sync data from multiple sources into SharePoint profile
- Unique document IDs (HUGE!)
- SharePoint Workspace for offline collaboration
- Office Web applications
Yes, a bit heavy on the social networking and content metatagging side, but that’s the stuff that gives users control while still being able to intelligently manage all that data!
