Would a Gantt-like tool be better?

It sounds like you want a 'collaborative project management'-like tool rather than a collaboration framework. Maybe something from [link\|http://www.kidasa.com/Compare/compare.htm\|Kidasa]? I've used Milestones Simplicity for simple Gantt charts, but haven't attempted to incorporate it into a collaboration. I don't know how flexible their tools are to fit your requirements/desires. I don't think a wiki or the like would be my choice for what I understand to be what you're looking for. HTH. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.

But we are looking for a full portal not just one part. The goal is to use it for document distirbution, news distribution, project status distribution, report distribution, company calendar distribution and so on. There will not be a lot of updating done through the portal. But since there is going to be many parts to this I'm looking for a decent framework, or what I really want, which is a set of components I can drop into a application I build. If it was just one thing, I would dig in and do it by hand. I've built frameworks for applications before, I've built most of these components at one time or another and I've done automation against MS backends. But there is too much here to do it that way.

Since you can create new components in FrontPage to include as "page parts" in SharePoint, you might be able to pull the SharePoint components you like and put them into something else. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
