Heriot-Watt sure is an interesting example of a SharePoint site, it
looks fantastic, has clean code, it validates.. everything a
SharePoint site normally doesn't ;-)
Then I saw the web output isn't actually SharePoint at all.
While I'm not entertained by running a public facing site off of
SharePoint, I'm academically intrigued by how Heriot-Watt's chosen
product, Open Text Web Solutions, uses SharePoint and how tightly
linked it is with it. I wonder if it uses SharePoint simply as a rich
text editor/glorified content database or if there is much more
closely coupled integration.
