Jeremy Thake presented on how the global community website NothingButSharePoint.com was built on the SharePoint 2010 platform. Key aspects included migrating existing content from other systems, using SharePoint 2010's web content management and publishing features, developing extensions like for comments and analytics, and leveraging tools like Visual Studio and PowerShell for implementation. Challenges included working with limitations of SharePoint 2010 and coordinating developers and designers. Lessons learned were about setting clear expectations, plans, and communication across the team.
