A Peek Into Future Development Plans and Product Release Timeframes

DISCLAIMER: This information describes our general product direction at this time and should not be relied on in making a licensing decision. The future development, release and timing of features and functionality remain at our sole discretion and may be changed at any time without notice.

Sorry . . . had to get that out of the way. Now on to the good stuff!

On any given day, we receive requests for more information about the future of Community Server, Community Server Evolution (our Intranet version), and Harvest Reporting Server (our new business intelligence tool).

Here are some high points on what to expect in the near future:

  • Community Server 2008.1 will feature a wiki + documentation support, a forum refresh, out-of-the-box experience improvements, and more!
  • With Evolution, we’re bringing social networking inside the firewall. You’ll be able to find and connect with colleagues, keep up with co-workers, and check progress updates 24-7
  • Evolution 1.0 will also ship with the ability to archive discussions (which will also be location-independent and searchable)
  • With version 2.0, Harvest will enable you to track positive and negative trends about products or keywords and show the impact of users with the new Sentiment application
  • Harvest 2.0 will also showcase scorecards that represent community health and trending

As far as timeframes, here’s where everything falls when you chart it out:

Hi

Did I miss something...what is the new Sentiment application?

Yours intrigued....

Hey, Anthony. I believe I answered your Q on Rob's blog, but just in case: Sentiment is an application that will answer questions like, “Do people in our community say generally positive or negative things about my product/service?” It will measure the tone of your community members.

Are there plans to add folders to the Files area of groups?
