We're using FM 11 and SharePoint 2010. Our DITA project has a few
hundred files.
For check-in/check-out and version management, it's acceptable. The time
to load the list of files when you want to insert a graphic into a
topic is measurable in long seconds, and I wish that were faster. I'd
like to hear others' experiences.
In terms of DITA management, it doesn't do much. SharePoint has no
mechanism for keeping track of relationships between files, so you don't
get the file and folder name management, conref lookup, and so on that
you need. You'd have to build "DITA-awareness" yourself with custom
code, or buy it if you can. Every commercial offering I've found comes
with a sales pitch to turn your whole organization into a
DITA-SharePoint operation through extensive consulting services. If
anyone is selling a simple DITA database plugin, I haven't found it yet.
FM's SharePoint Connector does have dependency awareness, but Adobe's
implementation relies on an "FMDependency" field added to the SharePoint
library columns. This field contains a delimited list of all files
referenced by a file. If you want to write your own custom code to
manage file name changes, then you're stuck with keeping this field up
to date as well. Since you're sharing it with Adobe, you may feel uneasy
about this. I know I do.

Hi group
Is there anyone using FrameMaker 10 or 11 with Sharepoint? Any good or
bad experiences you wish to share?
Thanks.
