Spurred by a newsgroup thread a couple of weeks ago, I have put together some ideas and instructions on how to utilize one of SharePoint's out of the box web parts, custom lists. The article covers:
» Frequently Asked Questions
» Anonymous (or as close as you can get) Submit Info list
» Picture or File Info and Thumbnail List
» A Form that is, but isn’t
» Additional Ideas
» SharePoint Portal Considerations
» Additional Resources
