I work for a large school district and because of budget cuts leadership is looking to save money on software licenses.
We are currently a SharePoint MOSS 2007 Enterprise shop.
I can see the writing on the wall when we go to leadership and ask about upgrading to 2010.
So, I'm doing my due diligence and looking into other solutions.  And because DNN is based on the .NET framework it seems to be a likely candidate.

Is there a feature comparison between MOSS 2007 and DNN somewhere?
What would be a possible migration path from MOSS to DNN (Professional or Elite)
Where would I find information on document management?  Does DNN support Open Office? (Not that we use it, but people would like the option)

We currently use MOSS for collaboration, document management, and content management.

Thanks
Ron

You cannot compare MOSS and DNN at this level, the usage of a product depends on your needs.

DNN is (out of box) nor a collaboration platform neither a DMS. There are addon modules for these needs available but not for free (as far as i know).

Second, i'm not aware about a "simple" migration path from MOSS to DNN as both products are following a different approach.

E.g. if you have some webparts on MOSS only containing static text you have to copy the text and paste it in the Text/HTML Module on DNN.
Workflows from MOSS? Nope.
DMS-functionality from MOSS? You have to rebuild the structure with an addon and you have to "insert" the docs more or less manually in DNN.

As you already have a running system, although i don't know the size, i would suggest to beg for the money for an update.
There are some really cute functions in MOSS2010.....but the corporation with OpenOffice is limited. Of course.

Hope that helps. 

Kai

Hi Ron. Additionally to my prior post i would say that both are having their benefits and a combination of both would be even better. Where Sharepoint has its strength in collaboration (with MS-Office) and DMS-capabilities, DNN has its strength in CMS. Editing mainly static content is easy to do and you don't have to be an IT-Guy. How would it be if your users could access the files in MOSS from within DNN without logging in twice? I remember a module which brought this functionality, as you can read here: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/112/threadid/210981/scope/posts/Default.aspx Unfortunately it disappeared, but i hope someone will find it again.

My interest is more to integrate SharePoint (from an external partner) and our DotNetNuke site. If co-locating them,put them on separate IIS web sites and use host headers to make both appear as one domain.

SharePointNuke is currently available on CodePlex. I just downloaded and provided a screenshot there so folks could see the user interface for specifying the list and SharePoint site. Unfortunately SharePointNuke only seems to display a read-only list, but doesn't allow opening/editing/saving items in the list - yet!

The author has some other SharePoint & DotNetNuke related articles (see www.DataQuadrant.com) on The Code Project, including one that sounds helpful which I'm just about to read: SharePoint Forms Based Authentication Using DotNetNuke as User Store.

Another link to SharePoint functionality (that I'm not sure is linked to DNN yet), is at: http://cmis4sharepoint.codeplex.com/d... and might be of interest.

Finally Cathal made an observation in an old post that SharePoint acts based on extensions where DNN doesn't. A good Document Management System (e.g., as provided in DNN Professional or Bring2Mind's Document Exchange module) should be able to do some of this though I suspect.
