Sharepoint Competitor

I assume that this is a competing approach to the Office 2007/Sharepoint components that Microsoft has.

Well done!

When I said "public sector," I meant 'the portion of the private sector which is devoted in whole or large part to fulfilling the demands of the public, i.e. governmental, sector; in particular U.S. government contractors.' The field is dominated by a number of well-known and very large players, which compete with each other on one hand, but also seem to have certain gentlemanly agreements on the other. They are, for most intents and purposes, essentially in a grey area somewhere between temp agencies which only serve the government, and wholesale private government agencies.

Most people who haven't been involved in the Federal government don't have any idea how much of the day-to-day operations of the USG is handled by contractors; I can personally assure you that if all the contractors decided not to show up for work one day, the government would literally stop.
