title: development on SharePoint v.s. development on Lotus Connections
body: <p>I am selecting between SharePoint and Lotus Connections, and I want gurus give me some advice. The functions I want to have is, portal/content management/workflow/various ways of communication (IM/audio/video/multi-party conference), better to have personal blog or team blog.</p>
  
  <p>Another key issue I want to consider is the flexibility/ease to extend the platform (either SharePoint or Connections) to implement/customize the functions I mentioned above.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice or referred documents are welcome.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT1: Does anyone have any good published documents to refer?</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance,
  George</p>
