Use Steve Blank's Customer Development Methodology. Spend some serious time researching the competition in this space; figure out how my vision fits in with Microsoft Sharepoint... am I building a Sharepoint complement or a Sharepoint killer (so to speak)? Decide if there's going to be a SaaS model for this stuff, and - if there is - what goes into it, and start exploring building out the SaaS version (probably on Amazon's infrastructure, but we'll see.) Depending on the results of some of the above goals: Maybe find a co-f
