PWA - Project (Group) websites

[Kevin McC]

I posted this on teh "General Questions List" last week and was advised to
post here...so here goes...
....any help is appreciated..


We are using MS Project 2003 & Project Server;
Is it possible to have many projects link to a single 'Share Point Services'
web address...??

My reason for this is that we have project managers who manage several
concurrent projects (ie a group of similar projects, for example ~ 'subsea
equipment projects' and 'surface equipment projects'), and our intention is
to have a website for a group of projects.

I cant see how to do this from the Manage Windows SharePoint Services page.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Kevin,

No, you can't do that. Relationships of projects to WSS sites must be
one-to-one.

Reid:

This would be the functionality of Office Sharepoint Portal Server. You use
this product to aggregate documents, etc. from sharepoint team sites to an
enterprise wide portal. It really does provide a whole lot more
functionality.

John,

I understand the features of SharePoint portal. However, I was not aware
(and you did not specifically state) that Portal would allow multiple
projects to be linked to a single website. Are you saying that is possible
with Portal, so that, for example, one document in a single website could be
dynamically linked to multiple tasks in multiple poject schedules in Project
Server?

That would be very interesting to know if it were true.

Portal Server has a mighty good search engine, but it doesn't do anything
much beyond that for linking together multiple project sites.
