Hi,

I am looking for some software that allows for better and easier
communication amongst company employees. Things like blogs, forums, the
ability to publish news and newsletters would be important.

Anyone recommend something? Community Server seems to have most things but
no newsletter functionaility from what I can see.

Thanks

re: Recommend Community Software


Community Server is ASP.NET, so you can add your own newsletter.

SharePoint is also a good option, although you will have to find third party
bits for some of the functionality (or build yourself). WSS (Windows
SharePoint Services) is free; MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) is
not. Both should be fine for the basics. MOSS offers more built in FUD.

There are also numerous open source pieces and starter kits you can use to
get the functionality you desire, although I do not know of one that has
"everything". Starter kits is where I would look first. Even the closest
implementation will require a bit of coding on your part.
