Hi Spence,

I am specifically talking about intranets that use CMS+SPS+WSS.

One solution that I am looking at is:
CMS - Primary web interface (displays info from SPS & links to SPS/WSS
sites)
SPS - searching & profiles etc.
WSS - lists that need to be bubbled up to CMS & documents that need to be
collaborated on then possibly displayed in CMS

Cheers
