CS2008: Released! What does that mean?

Community Server 2008 is a major upgrade and change in how Telligent is doing business.  The audience for Community Server is changing slightly as it really is no longer a good fit for very small communities, especially if you need features that are not a part of the free version.  However, Telligent does have another product that is more suited for that audience, Graffiti.  Both products support a new widget technology, which I need to take a closer look at.

That being said, many addons that were written for prior versions of Community Server will not work in Community Server 2008, including the calendar control that I wrote.  Due to other obligations I won't be able to even look at what needs to be done to get it to work, until sometime in May.  Once I am able to, I will be removing all references to the ComponentArt controls, adding AJAX.NET to Community Server, and using AJAX.NET in the new calendar control.

I don't have a time frame for this, but I wouldn't expect anything before July and most likely much later.  I may have something available for beta testing before then, but I'm not making any promises.

Take it easy,
Bill

Hi Ralf,

The long term contract that I was working on just ended last Friday, so I'll be starting on the new control this week.  I've got some new ideas on how I'd actually like to do it, but it's going to take a bit of testing to see if it will work.  I'd like to make the entire calendar 100% configurable from the ASPX, including the layout.

Take it easy,
Bill
