List 19 COMMUNITY features in SharePoint Server 2010 NOT in SharePoint Foundation 2010?

Ask Me About

Identifying expertise within a large organization can be difficult. The Ask Me About section on a user’s profile is a great way for people to list their areas of expertise, and also to invite colleagues to ask them questions to share their knowledge.

Colleague Suggestions

Based on your organizational hierarchy in Active Directory, membership in SharePoint communities or email distribution lists, communications from Office Communicator contacts, and an analysis of Office Outlook emails, SharePoint 2010 will suggest appropriate colleagues to add to your social network. This automated suggestion service helps keep your network and interests updated and recent.

Colleagues Network

Create an extensive network of colleagues across your organization and keep up-to-date on their activities. Adding people to your enterprise social network is simple through the Add Colleagues feature that supports privacy and grouping options. It also allows you to add colleagues to your immediate workgroup, or to specify a category group for those colleagues.

Enterprise Wikis

Enterprise Wikis help consolidate company-wide information into a centralized, easy-to-manage repository. The Enterprise Wiki template is built on the SharePoint publishing infrastructure to support rich page types with embedded metadata – allowing the combination of unstructured wiki content with structured data. The page editing experience allows for embedding dynamic content including rich media. In addition, the Enterprise Wiki leverages the Managed Metadata service to provide categorization for pages.

Keyword Suggestions

SharePoint 2010 will periodically suggest keywords or repeated topics based on email communication patterns from Office Outlook 2010 that you can add to the "Ask Me About" or "Interests" section of your profile. This automated suggestion service helps keep your areas of expertise updated as you move from project to project.

Memberships

Your SharePoint profile gives you one central place to manage your community memberships - whether they be SharePoint sites or email distribution lists.

My Content

The My Content section of a user's My Site gives you a central location to store and manage your documents, favorite links, personal blog and wiki pages. The My Content site is fully customizable and users can set access and permission levels for any content on this site.

My Newsfeed

The My Newsfeed feature of a user's My Site is an enterprise newsfeed that displays a real-time feed of updates from the people you’re following and interests you’re tracking. Users can select what types of activities they would like to display in their newsfeed, and the newsfeed is also extensible to display 3rd party activity. An enterprise newsfeed helps users stay connected and up-to-date on the people and topics they care about.

My Profile

The My Site Profile page contains rich information about employees including a bio, job title, location, contact information, interests and skills, and previous projects. This makes it easy to find the right people and subject matter experts across the company. With SharePoint Search, you can find people based on names, nicknames, wildcard, or search for people by expertise skills based on the information stored on their My Site.

Note Board

Using the Note Board, people can post comments, ask questions, or otherwise interact with other people or communities. This open channel of communication helps lower the barriers to participation, relieves email overload, and opens up discussions to multiple people.

Organization Browser

The Organization Browser provides a rich Silverlight browsing experience that allows people to navigate through their organizational structures to see peers, direct reports and management chains.

Ratings

SharePoint 2010 includes a 5-star rating system that may be applied to SharePoint pages, lists/libraries or individual documents. Ratings help apply quality management controls, so users can search and sort for the best content.

Recent Activities

The Recent Activities feed on a person’s My Site public profile page is a helpful way to understand what that person has been working on. The Activities shown are the same ones listed for the My Network newsfeed items. The Recent Activities feed on a profile page gives visitors deeper insight into what’s going on in your role or organization, and helps build a more connected community.

Social Bookmarks

Social Bookmarks are a great way to manage and remember your favorite sites. The sites can be external or internal URLs and they can be shared with colleagues. This helps increase discoverability of resources across the organization.

Status Updates

Status Updates are a great, informal way to let people know where you are or what you’re doing. When changes are made to your status update, this will show up in your Recent Activities and for you under your colleagues' My Network as part of their newsfeed.

Tag Clouds

SharePoint 2010 includes a Tag Cloud web part that helps people navigate through the tag taxonomy by visually depicting the most popular tags. Users can have a personal tag cloud to help them navigate more easily or share what content or pages are important to them with the rest of the organization. Tag clouds can also help surface what resources are available per site collection.

Tag Profiles

Tag Profile pages are dynamic communities of interest around a specific keyword or topic. These profile pages include a list of items that have been tagged with the term – this could be documents, sites, wiki pages and more. The tag profile pages also contain a list of the community members following the topic, as well as a note board for community discussions.

Tags

Tags help classify and organize the vast amount of information in your organization. SharePoint 2010 supports both a centralized corporate metadata taxonomy system, as well as social tagging where users can specify their own keywords.

Tags and Notes

The Tags and Notes tool helps people manage and share their favorite websites which can be external or internal URLs. Tagging a page with an "I like it" social bookmark helps increase discoverability of resources across the organization.



List 9 CONTENT features in SharePoint Server 2010 NOT in SharePoint Foundation 2010?

Compliance Everywhere

Whether you’re managing traditional content (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF), web content or social content (blogs and wikis), SharePoint 2010 provides the right level of control and compliance. Regardless of content type or location, SharePoint 2010 allows you to manage versions, apply retention schedules, declare records or place legal holds. SharePoint 2010 also supports location based policy and metadata defaults allowing the creation and management of hierarchical file plans.

Document Sets

Document Sets provide a way to manage a group of related content as a single entity. Each Document Set has its own version history, workflow and shared metadata while each content item retains its own specific version history, workflow and metadata. When you create a Document Set, all the component parts are created at that same time, improving the consistency and speeding up common business processes like RFP responses.

Metadata Driven Navigation

Metadata Driven Navigation provides users with the ability to rapidly browse and discover information in large Document Libraries using terms defined in the Managed Metadata Service. Users can also further refine views based on specific metadata filters like Content Type, Author and Tags.

Multi-stage Disposition

SharePoint 2010 provides a rich framework for managing retention and disposition of content. Information managers can create sophisticated policies that define multiple stages in the content lifecycle. Options include regular review cycles, disposition of draft content, disposition of all but the most recently published content, final disposition and initiation of custom disposition workflow. To support in place records management, different policies can be defined for non-records and records in the same location or of the same Content Type.

Rich Media Management

SharePoint 2010 provides a range of new capabilities for managing rich media assets like video, audio and images. From automatic metadata promotion on upload to support for streaming video and audio, SharePoint 2010 makes it easy for users to store, manage, find and use digital content. In addition, SharePoint and the Office applications provide a rich asset picker that supports previews and metadata driven navigation.

Shared Content Types and the Managed Metadata Service

SharePoint 2010 delivers significant advances in metadata management across SharePoint deployments. The Shared Content Type infrastructure allows Content Types and associated Information Management Policy to be shared across Farms and Site Collections. The Managed Metadata Service is used to define and manage taxonomies and folksonomy. The Managed Metadata Service supports hierarchical term sets, synonyms and multilingual terms and can be shared across Farms and Site Collections.

The Content Organizer

One of the most common complaints with traditional ECM solutions is misclassification of information. The Content Organizer removes the burden of classification from the end user by automatically routing content to the appropriate location based on Content Type and metadata values. The Content Organizer can also automatically provision folder hierarchy based on unique metadata values like department, team, project or product.

Unique Document IDs

SharePoint 2010 provides a unique Document ID service that makes managing and tracking information easy by assigning a unique, human readable identifier to every piece of content. Users can quickly search for information using the Document ID and SharePoint Search will find the content even if it has been moved from its original location. In addition, SharePoint 2010 supports “permalinks”, a URL that can be used to reference a piece of content independent of its location throughout the content lifecycle.

Word Automation Services

Word Automation Services is a highly scalable, server based engine that delivers save, export and print capabilities for Word Documents. When combined with the Office Open XML SDK, Word Automation Services supports document creation, manipulation and renditions as well as integration with line of business systems for generating content based on structured data sources.
