Greetings,

I have worked with various tools and perhaps Lotus Quickplace might serve your needs. It actually has the extranet functionality more or less built in. The new team templates provide you with three main areas (Home, Team Workspace and Community Library).

We used the Home area for general information and discussion with project stakeholders. And used the calendar functionality to keep users up to date. We also created sub-rooms here with specific access permissions for various key stakeholder groups (project board, related project teams).

We used the Team Workspace as a working area for the project team (only accessible for project team members) for our work in progress and information sharing within the team.

Finally we used the Community Library for all our 'shareable'documents and background information (release notes, presentations, project schedules).

PRO's:
- easy and fast user rights assignment;
- notifications;
- document version management;
- flexible room configuration and discussion forms

CONTRA:
- needs quite a lot of ActiveX compinents; and thus difficult to use through firewalls and closed down desktops;
- a bit slow over simple modem connections.
