Commons version 2.0-beta1 released (cross-post)

Just a cross-post so you don't miss this blog post here.

Commons 2.0 preview: Status Wall (screencast)

Hey, all -

We're here working away at adding Status Wall capabilities to Commons; but since it's still under active development it's not quite ready for people to try out yet.

But still, we wanted to let people see what we're working on, so here's a screencast.  Enjoy!

Commons version 1.7 released (security update)

In response to the security advisory posted on drupal.org regarding sites that use the CKeditor library (which is used by Commons), we have packaged Commons version 1.7, which includes an update of the CKeditor (third-party) library and the wysiwyg module.  We also included a performance-driven patch to organic groups, and some fixes to some minor theme issues.

As this is a security-related release, it is best if you promptly update your site.

Drupal Commons version 1.6 released (26 May 2011)

As the title says, Drupal Commons version 1.6 was released late last night.

Full details on the release can be found in my blog post on acquia.com.

A reminder of how we want to handle issues & questions:

Group name changed

It seems to me that we're overloading the Commons Q&A group. There's a ton of discussions going on there that have to do with what we want to / should do for feature XYZ. My original purpose for that group was to be a place where new Commons users could come ask questions about how to use Commons, what it's for, etc.

I think we need a separate group to have development conversations - the same way we have one for Usability & Design.
