The hype cycle has started for the upcoming release of SharePoint 2010, and I’m certainly not the only one to get caught up in it. I’m excited about anything that can help the members of our community better manage their information, and I’ve always seen SharePoint as a potentially transformative platform bridging structured content, unstructured content, and social computing in one flexible package.
