Planning and architecture for Office SharePoint Server 2007

For some reason this would scare me away from deploying a Sharepoint Site.   Information Overload!

Actually it gets worse.... with over 40 planning worksheets.

They're not all that bad - most are one-pagers- though a wizard interface or maybe an Access application would be a good start.  Or perhaps integrating this into the product itself?  What ever happened to the evolving model of a self-maintained, self-documented wiki?  Perhaps this would be too chaotic with the Sharepoint model...

Anyway, the first step is to plan... and there's lots of materials available:
