The site looks fantastic and performs really well too. check it out....and while you are there, why not make a donation :)
The Solution Accelerator Team at Microsoft have released a tool on Codeplex to help deploy setting across farms.... I haven't tried it yet, but it looks interesting.
The SharePoint Cross-site Configurator
The tool automates the process of deploying the MOSS site settings in all or selected sites in a server farm as shown in the following list:
Note The Tool also enables IT administrators to customize the site settings to be deployed.
- Applying Master Pages across a SharePoint server farm.
- Setting up Web Titles for all or selected site collections across the farm.
- Applying audit control settings to all or selected sites.
- Adding advanced settings such as “Allow content type management” to all types of lists.
- Adding a new Expiration Policy at the site collection level.
- Adding a new Expiration Policy to content types, lists, and documents.

I have been trying to work out how to paste a complex list with lots of numbering from one word doc to another. You would think it would be simple right?
When I pasted to the new document, it would renumber the list based on previous lists in the document which is definitely what I didn't want as it was a legal section of the document.
I found this link with some info from Stefan Blom which provided a solution.
I copied the section to a new document.
Created a new macro and added the following line;
ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText
I ran the macro which converted the auto numbering to text, and then I could copy and paste to the new document preserving the original numbering...
There is a new iFilter pack available which has filters for OneNote, Visio, Zip and Office 2007 documents.

I have my VS2008 VM running nicely now on top of Windows 2008 RC. The Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit is pretty good too. Working through some of the demos at the moment. The LINQ one is pretty interesting, although I am trying to get my head around Lambda expressions at the moment.
I'm keenly awaiting the new Extensions for SharePoint..... I believe they are supposed to be available real soon now....
