Mark-Kashman, I agree with David Clay. An idea of the release date of these items would help. I was not able to attend the conference this year and, since nothing was recorded, it is hard to know if dates were mentionned during the talks.
I was expecting more concrete information on the «corporate» features of SharePoint. We need to create a «home» for SharePoint with company news and, ideally, a way to manage multilingual content. I see a lot of what I need in the announcements but I cannot figure out if this will be available by june; september or december.
We need to decide if we need to buy an «in a box solution» like Valo to have decent home within a few weeks / months. If page metadata; audience filtering; curated news and a communication site home are available this summer, we would consider staying within the Microsoft box.
