Document workspaces misconception

In WSS 2.0 there is a lot of automated features that can mislead users and even administrators. For example, each time a default web site is created a set of lists are already included. By this i mean the Announcements, contacts, events, links and tasks are already in your website by default (i.e. shown below)





The built in lists are part of a template for creating a website in sharepoint - even when creating a "blank" website. Document workspaces is a term that abstracts people from what it really is. A "Document Workspace" is simply a website.


with it's own set of lists and libraries included in it.
