Could you tell me some good forums about Sharepoint 2007? I find there are not a lot of specialized sites about this.
How about the forums under SharePoint Products and Technlogies?
I agree that it's sometimes tough to find good communities. StackOverflow is a pretty good place to work through a SharePoint question, though! Also, you could point your rss reader to SharePointBlogs.com and get some pointers to a load of semi-active bloggers who are happy to answer questions posted as comments on their blogs, as long as they're related to the main post topic.
My personal favorite is [SharePointu.com]. The reason is simple, there are several real SharePoint gurus who are patient and experienced.
And do not forget, the most great place is forum/Microsoft.com. You can see lot of Ms guys showing up there.
SharePoint has a really strong community out on Twitter. Obviously it will take some time to get to know the players but Joel Oleson has put together a good blog article to help get started in the SharePoint Twitter community.

I am building a question and answering site by myself.
I want to make this site indexed as a Q&A site or Forums by Google, which can be retrieved when using the "Discussions" in Google. In my personal experience, Google Discussion Search is a pretty useful function when I want to get others' real opinions or experience.
However, I have no any idea on that how Google determine one site as Q&A/Forum or one page as Q&A/Forum page. I searched a lot on Google, but there is little related information discussing this issue. Do you have any idea or reference on that?
Thanks!
Best,
Jing
Use richsnippets and make Google recognizing your traffic by using Webmaster tools or Analytics . Use a sitemap.xml to invite for revisit and fast indexing, disable archiving (f.e. Google Cache) with meta-robots noarchive. If you have high traffic and fast content building, search-engines will then recognize by themselves.

How can I convert my website into different language, for ex I want to translate it into Russian. It is a commercial website, i cant use google translate. How can I do it please guide me. Thanks
I Don't think for such a scenario you can use any automatic translator tools available as none of them can render a perfect translation. Your best bet is to get a translator and create a separate version of the website.
I was wondering by the way, is that a c# question? :)
There are many articles in codeproject that can help you achieve this, refer to this, this, this, this and several others. Try searching ASP.NET Globalization or ASP.NET Culture in google and stackoverflow, you'll find several articles and posts. Of course, nothing beats the old fashion way of translating ;) I agree with MSI and Christopher, hiring a translator is the best solution to your problem (that's what we did for our website). Cheers.
Hire a translator. If you want a quality product, it really is that simple.

Can anyone recommend any cloud based alternatives too SharePoint? I have seen a couple good ones on sites like www.sharepointalternative.com and www.topsharepointalternatives.com but does anyone have experience of ones they have used before?
We are a small company of 16 people but are looking to expand to around 30 by the end of the year and so should be easily scalable. We would need to be able to easily share and edit files and have a version control.
It also has to work as an internal and external portal as we want to share with clients as well as internally.
Check out http://www.alfresco.com/. We tried it, but it was not a good solution for us since we have hundreds of users and our groups needed many sub-sites with their own permissions.
google apps for sure!

It's free up until 20 users I believe. So you can easily try it out without extra costs and than pay a little if you expand enough
CMSWire has a great list of Sharepoint Alternatives. Glasscubes seems to be the most viable alternative for what you are looking for, however I have zero experience with it.

Hi guys I am new to Sharepoint. Is it a good practice to query the content database tables through the SQL Server Management studio?
Which things need to be considered for Sharepoint testing? As of now I have considered Authorizations and Performance of Sharepoint portal.
Still there are lot of things need to be considered but since I am new to Sharepoint can anyone please guide me on how we do Sharepoint testing and things to be considered for Sharepoint testing?
Any help really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Annop, I can answer your first question. The best practice is to use the Sharepoint API to access the database. The Sharepoint database is proprietary to Sharepoint, and Microsoft recommends that it not be accessed directly (or at least never written to directly). The database contains field names like StringField1, StringField2, NumericField1, etc. so composing a meaningful SQL query would be difficult.
Regarding your second question, the following link contains several resources to help you with Sharepoint testing:

here is a link to help unit testing sharepoint with mocking

Hope it helps

I am investigating the feasibility of setting up a discussion forum / message board in my company to enable knowledge sharing etc.
What are the steps involved in implementing such a solution?
I would definitely recommend a Wiki - we've used Mindtouch internally for a number of years and have also posted all of our documentation externally on a wiki.
The steps will depend on what technology you already have in place and what kind of shop you are. If you have SharePoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007), then you already have blog, wiki and discussion group functionality built in. Not the best in the world, but it's there.
A shop that uses more open source tools is less likely to find SharePoint compelling. ;-)
Instead of (or maybe in addition to) a discussion forum, I would recommend a wiki server. This way you can have different howtos, lists, documentation, etc available and the important things will tend to stay up to date. We have one in our department and it is quite useful (if only people would log in when editing...).
I was not involved in setting it up, so I cannot give any details on that, but it is based on mediawiki.
