WSS 3.0 Web Service Reference Guide

Update: 26 Jan 2008
Ali B has recently made me aware that MSFT has documented WSS web services on MSDN. You can find there here:
 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms445292.aspx

I found this on Glen’s site. Kudos to Glen.

Below is a list of all WSS 3.0 web services and their methods. This is not intended to be comprehensive documentation of each service and its methods. This is simply a quick list of web methods intended to simplify the process of finding a particular method.
