"Shetiquette"
By: Matt Morse | Posted: November 18, 2008 at 10:45 AM

I was working at a client recently and "shetiquette" was the term they used to refer to "SharePoint Etiquette" -- the behavior users exhibit in collaborating with each other in MOSS. Their examples of bad shetiquette include:

  • Checking out documents and never checking them back in (I've been known to be guilty of that on occasion).
  • Putting garbage in metadata fields. For example, the description of a document is "asdfasdf."

I thought the term was cool -- though you have to be careful when pronouncing it out loud -- and I think many of us who use SharePoint regularly can relate.

Have any good examples that you've run across?

Nice one. Sounds like the SharePoint variation on the the old "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" adage. I'll grant that there are quite a few folks running around looking to use MOSS in ways that don't make sense. I'd also argue that there are a lot of developers who are writing custom apps that would significantly benefit from putting their efforts into development of those functions on SharePoint.

What you do when you give up trying to figure out why SharePoint won't let you save your edits.

- Defined as an architect that believes MOSS can solve any problem even when it clearly can't. I like shetiquette, funny stuff.
