They look like great tools. I think the more people beating this drum the better. SharePoint is a powerful tool, but without proper methodology it is simply too easy to paint yourself (or your client) into a corner. I would greatly welcome any input, assistance, participation, or criticism you may have on this tool set as things progress. Hey Clint – thanks for posting those links. They look like great tools.

Nice work here, I think it's a really important topic which had been neglected by MS. I've created some tools that make source control, isolated developer environments and build automation possible on the SharePoint platform. Take a look at the SPDeploy and the provisioning framework at the links below. SPDeploy allows you to build a SharePoint solution package from Visual Studio and remotely deploy that solution to a SharePoint farm (no more local dev). The provisioning framework is a provider based implementation that allows you to represent a set of test data in your visual studio solution. This definition (XML) can be committed to source control so that you can build your entire content database from source control. This allows you to stand up a new farm (for test, uat, etc) in no time at all. More info here: http://rapid-tools.googlecode.com http://www.ascentium.com/blog/sp/Post71.aspx Hey Glen, what’s up?
