Upgrading - What if we do not use current installation of WSS?

[J Burford Fields]

The migration guide says that if you have WSS 2.0 implemented that you
must first apply SP2a, and then upgrade to WSS 3.0. As we are not
actually using the installed SharePoint product, I'm hoping I can
simply discard it, migrate data to the new server than re-implement
SharePoint once MOSS is installed in our enterprise.

Does that sound reasonable?

Yes. Make sure your 2007 installation is sound, and then run the
p12migrationtool to begin to migrate the projects. Why wait for MOSS though
before using WSS, there is no reliance on MOSS except for Proposal Workflow.

I'm not as up to speed on WSS MOSS as I need to be. I have the
impression that Project Server 2003 administrators were looking
forward to new features related to PS 2007 and MOSS. My notion that
MOSS is an upgrade to WSS has since been debunked.

It appears to me that there will quikly develop, after MOSS, an
enterprise WSS server and standards. My thought was that this would
also follow the MOSS implementation, and that as we are making no use
of WSS, currently, it might be better to wait until central assets are
in place to develop project related sites and get users started than
to have them do so and then need to migrate Project WSS sites to a
central server.

(SP2a on Project Server & SP2 of Wss, I think were the migration
requirements)

Thanks for the response, btw.
