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.

I am totally new to IBM lotus and domino notes. I just want to know how to connect IBM domino using java and what are the software I should have installed in my machine.
I gone through many websites but I didn't get any proper tutorial websites. currently I am referring to this page.
See my answer to a previous question here. That answer is broader than just talking about how to connect to Notes and Domino from Java, but it does include a good summary of the options you have from Java, and there's a reference to a very old book that you can download for free and is useful even if it is old. It has an excellent introduction to the principles of Notes and Domino in addition to a lot of information about the Java API. Once you've read it, you should be able to ask more specific questions and we will be able to help you with them.
As far as software goes, you may not need to install anything besides Domino Designer, but the truth is it depends on what environment you are going to develop in, what environment you are going to run in, and what choice you make about the different ways you can access Notes/Domino data from Java.

I'm launching a startup web site, what i would like to know is how to start with that, i mean is better to use invitations first of all?
Then how to send invitations and to who?
How can i plan invitations? Which are best practices?
Does anyone is passed from this step with his own site?
Any experience on here?
thanks
Whether you create a beta version of the site first is completely up to you.
It really depends what type of website you're planning to make. Beta's are obviously a good way to gain feedback on your website and its functionality before releasing to everyone. Thus, allowing you to make improvements/fix bugs before everyone uses the site.
In terms of actually getting users for the beta, it's very much a case of marketing your website and its existence well (through social media, advertising etc.), and then providing some kind of 'sign up for the beta' page. You could then close registration for the beta once you have enough users, and devise some method of gaining feedback from users.
I haven't personally created a beta myself, but if I was to do it, I would do the above.
Hope that's of some help.

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!
http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/09/articles/sharepoint-vs-google-apps.html
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.

I have taken over a large project at work that requires a lot of TLC to get it into a manageable state. The whys and hows of this situation don't really matter at this point.
I was thinking I could use some of the concepts of IT Service Management to rein in this project. It has no coding standards, no change management, no issue tracking, and no build process to speak of. Everything is done by hand in Explorer with issues added to a Word document as the help desk receives them.
What kind of formal process would you use to address this situation?
Have you considered ITIL? It has a formalized structure for some of the areas that you’re dealing with, such as application management, change management, and incident management. It’s a formal process with supporting documentation and certifications.
