Comments on: SharePoint for Cisco FanBoys (final housekeeping) – Part 6 http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2008/02/19/sharepoint-for-cisco-fanboys-final-housekeeping-part-6/ After much frustration, it seems DEFAULT is the way to go...

I wholeheartedly agree that syncing subsites should be an option - better yet, with the ability to choose which subsites to sync. A filterable subsite selection mechanism would make Colligo exactly what I am looking for. Excellent preview to the Colligo reader!

Part 5 really showed how useful metadata is. But the whole series was great (and very entertaining ). Now I'm on to your other series.

Thanks for the feedback Barry. I think that you should always offer an option rather than outright prevent some functionaliy as you never know who may want it. So I still think that you should do subsites, and if you do I'll write it up in the context of a DR plan using SharePoint. regards Paul My god! someone actually read this series!

Thanks so much for your kind words about Colligo Reader! We really appreciate your suggestions for additional features that would enhance the value of the product. Please let me provide a little feedback on the feature choices we made. As you pointed out, Reader only synchronizes the latest version of files and it doesn't support automatically syncing sub-sites. These are intentional design limitations that were driven primarily by the IT departments of our customers. During our beta testing, they expressed concern about "information spawl" and asked us to enforce these limits in Reader. But, as you pointed out, these are not showstoppers for most people. If you want to sync a sub-site, it's just a matter of navigating to the site and pushing the Connect to Reader button on the IE toolbar, dragging and dropping the URL off IE, or manually entering the URL as you've shown here. Regarding encrtyption and security of your Colligo data, you may be interested to know that the commercial version of the product, Colligo Contributor, does offer encryption of your data store (plus a lot of other configurable options). The commercially-available version of Reader is called Colligo Contributor Viewer and it also offers that option. <a href="http://support.colligo.com/Lists/Knowledge%20Base/DispForm.aspx?ID=16&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport%2Ecolligo%2Ecom%2FLists%2FKnowledge%2520Base%2FAllItems%2Easpx" rel="nofollow">Here is a knowledge base article</a> on how to configure Colligo Contributor to encrpt the data store and other options. <a href="http://www.colligo.com/products/sharepoint/contributor_productfeatures.asp" rel="nofollow">This table</a> outlines all the differences between Colligo Reader and Colligo Contributor.
