Would anyone like to recommend free alternative to SharePoint Portal ?
We want to create a internal portal site for Content Management with features like Permissions, History etc.
If you have windows 2003 server sharepoint services comes for free.. This is ok if you have a small team around 40 people.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb848085.aspx
DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) is a great one. You could also check out Alfresco (www.alfresco.com)
The WhiteHouse.org site just moved its CMS to Drupal - so it's at least good enough for government work. :)
Alfresco is an open source CMS with Web Content Management that is often positioned as Open Source Alternative to SharePoint . Used by lots of enterprises all over the world (check customers list). Here is one comparison. from content management analysts.

an working on a project which requires collaborating on the same excel file by many users
one of the things i came across is , excel web app , but of course it requires skydrive/internet , my question is there something similar which can works internally (i.e on a LAN) ?
SharePoint Foundation is a free, on-premise installation that offers the basics of team collaboration and file sharing.
A file server with a public folder is also "free" (as in: if you have a LAN and users logging on to it, you probably already have a file server) and can be accessed by everybody on the domain.
More sophisticated solutions (SharePoint server, Excel Services, etc) will have a price tag.

I have to look at the Microsoft Sharepoint Designer, i have the Designer installed but to not assemble all the dependencies of Microsoft Sharepoint Server (windows 2008 server 64, sql server, etc, etc...) i'm asking if Microsoft (or someone) has a free site to provide us a Microsoft Sharepoint Server installed to test the designer on it, maybe exists?
Have a look at the virtual labs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/cc707678.aspx
Or download a pre-configured virtual machine with everything already installed:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
But the answer to your actual question I suspect is no. Sharepoint costs alot of money for an external licence, it's unlikely that anybody, even Microsoft, is going to open up a sharepoint server for you especially when they are giving away virtual machines that do just that. Plus all the dangers from hackers etc to the next user that comes along. Get the VM going.

I have an IIS webserver that is crashing occasionally. It always works just fine after restarting the AppPool. I have logging configured for the website in a standard W3C format. Looking through the logs for useful information is like sifting through vomit for a tasty treat. Are there any good tools out there for making these logs more readable? User Friendly? Useful?
Check out Smarter Stats from http://www.smartertools.com/smarterstats/web-analytics-seo-software.aspx
The free edition is really nice.
Nihuo web log analyzer is very simple, easy to configure and very good in analyzing iis and apache access log files. The reports generated by this tool are also very good.

I want to analyze the IIS logs for a website for things like hits, keywords, countries accessed from etc.
Has anyone used any (free) tools that were useful from this regard?
There's LogParser. Blog article about how to use it here. You need to be comfortable with SQL to use it, though. There's a GUI for it apparently, too. Don't have any experience with that, though.

You can use it freely with full function for 30 days evaluation period.
============================================
updated: The software is developed by myself.
There is a simple answer to this don't..
Log files are next to useless to look at your website traffic, there are massively inaccurate, log file analysis is useful for network engineers looking at traffic management.
If you want to view who has looked at your website from where and with which broswer and what keyword was used to get there, just install goggle analytic although it does have a few downsides its much better for the information you require its also free.
Take a look at http://www.googlelytics.net/awstats-log-file-analysis-vs-google-analytics/ for a view of each.

Hi Ive been planning on doing a social network project and im wondering if there are readings on UX Design that I can read to base my site design on. Thanks.
Check out this question. My personal favorite is Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think.
You might be interested in reading specifically about how other social networking sites are reviewed.
Like when Facebook Redesigned:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/09/05/new-facebook-redesign-more-than-just-aesthetics/
Or a Twitter lead designer profile:
http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/cliff-kuang/design-innovation/design-mind-behind-twitter-hes-21
How Ning works:
http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/18321/
Definitely use as many social networking sites as possible to get inspired.
I have found Seductive Interaction Design helpful. There is a section about profile completeness and how to incorporate positive goals that compels your user to take the steps necessary towards completeness.
http://www.amazon.com/Seductive-Interaction-Design-Effective-Experiences/dp/0321725522
Other helpful sections on how to build in fun distractions and more importantly coming on too strong (and how not to!).
Hope this helps!
