Hi Steve, Sorry, I passed on some misleading information, and according to Frank MacDonald of Heriot Watt: "www.hw.ac.uk is powered by opentext cms (AKA reddot) http://websolutions.opentext.com/" I had checked the site (which obviously was not generated by SharePoint), and assumed that *another* public Heriot Watt site used SharePoint, but that is apparently not the case.

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.
