Hi,
I want to use Meeting Workspace to plan our fall shutdown work, which
involves many people from all different departments in our plant. Can
anyone give me any advice on what to NOT do when setting this up for the very
first time?

How does this relate to Outlook?
 
I guess I assumed it did since the Meeting Workspace button shows when I am
setting up a meeting. I clicked it and did a bit of reading and thought that
maybe it was something that would work well for us in this particular
situation, where we would be having ongoing meetings with multiple attendees.

Am I incorrect?
 
Or maybe a better way to put my initial question would be...is this what
"Meeting Workspace" is supposed to be used for? From what I have read, I
assumed all documents, agendas for meetings etc would be stored in one place
accessible to all invitees by clicking a link. Any one of these invitees
would be able to update documents stored in the Meeting Workspace. I am a
little unclear about where all this stuff gets saved......is the workspace
saved on a local server at our organization or is it somehow connected to
Outlook? Sorry, I'm not that tech savvy.
 
Carla - Meeting Workplaces (and Document Workplaces) are colloborative tools
supplied with Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) & SharePoint Portal Server
so you would need one of these products running on the server. As you have
seen they integrate with Office 2007/2003.

WSS is a free download for Windows 2003 Server and is well worth installing.
All data is stored in SQL 2005 Express Edition or, optionally, SQL 2005
