Big Day Today...
Today is a big day for me...
On August 22nd, I joined Telligent as a Senior Applications Developer. Today, I begin the second half of my first year. Over the past six months I've had the opportunity to work with a great team (Alex, Ben, Dan, James, Ken, Kevin, Scott), on a great showcase site (hive.net), and on a great product (CommunityServer v2.0). Along the way, I've had a chance to have an impact on CS with points, post ratings, videos, favorites, spam, in addition to smaller features and numerous fixes. This has been the most challenging, fun, and rewarding six months of my professional career to date...and the next six months looks to be even better.
...but it's an even bigger day for Community Server...
Today we launch CS v2.0! So, what's new since v1.1? There really is too much to explain, so let me summarize:
- File Gallery
- Feed Reader and Roller
- Mail Gateway
- Enterprise Search
- Lightweight CMS
- Spam Blocker
- Member Points System
- Overhauled UI (CSS, AJAX, ComponentArt)
- Improved Administration (Control Panel)
- Additional new features (podcasting, ink, videos, licensing, editors, ...)
- Bug fixes
Later this week the dev team will be meeting in Dallas to talk about v3, but more on that later...
For now, join me in celebrating the public release of CS 2.0! :)

No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
