Release Notes: May 2010

Released: May 15, 2010

The May 2010 release of the IGLOO Platform contains some exciting new features and fixes.

Some of the highlights of this release include:

  • Group Spaces. IGLOO is pleased to announce that with this release we have significantly strengthened our group collaboration components by providing every community with a new feature called Group Spaces. Group Spaces will help to offer a dedicated, segmented area of the community which can be used for projects, work groups, departments, teams, special interest groups and more. While providing these collaboration areas - basically a mini-community, within your community - we have also worked to ensure that they are fully integrated into our platform so that content, ideas and innovations can bubble up or be shared in the community-at-large to facilitate enterprise collaboration.
    Each community will have access to at least one Group Space. To learn more or to add additional Group Spaces to your community, contact us!
  • More Search Engine Optimization. In our last release we provided a powerful tool to begin search engine optimization for Pages on public sites. This release we extend this functionality to virtually all objects in the community. You can now provide important SEO terms, like title, meta description and meta keywords for every blog, document, image, event, wiki page and more. This way, if you are leveraging any of these important social features on your public website, they are now able to help you better attract traffic to your site.
  • Tweet Tweet. Over the last year Twitter's members and usage has increased dramatically(source). Today it is one of the most popular sites for social networking and sharing content. To help you extent your reach and allow your members to share your community's content on these popular social networking sites, we have added Twitter to the list of social media sharing links you can enable for your community.
    While you are checking out this new feature, don't forget to follow @IGLOOSoftware for updates, and great conversation about web 2.0, online communities as well as the ups and downs of bringing social media to the enterprise.
