Community Server 2008 Released
Now it's time to talk about Community Server 2008! Rob Howard announces the immediate availability of Community Server 2008 after his webinar webcast about an introduction to Community Server 2008.
A few days ago Telligent released the Release Candidate version to public for final testing and now they drop the RTW.
There isn't any new major feature or improvement in RTW in comparison with prior Betas and RC and as I had written before, 2008 is a new version primary focused on social networking, advanced reporting and extensibility options.
Community Server API is enhanced as well and Telligent is putting more effort on enterprise scenarios for Community Server. New licensing and pricing reminds us of the fact that Community Server is going from smaller sites to bigger ones and Graffiti wants to be a replacement for it for small sites.
With the final release of Community Server 2008, Telligent also refreshed the official website with a new beautiful theme that has many new sections to showcase the product. Recently they also switched from .org domain to .com which was being used for Community Server hosted edition for a while.
It seems that the SDK isn't available yet which is a regular thing after the years and it takes a short while to be ready.
However, this is yet another new version of Community Server and it's interesting to see the progress behind this product from the early days to now. I feel old now!

@Simone,
I don't think there is much difference around CSModules and I think that your implementation is just a CSModule so there wouldn't be any problem.
Cool... I'll have to test it to make sure it still works... just to make sure :)
@Simone,
It may have some compilation errors due to minor API changes but you would be able to solve them in less than 5-10 minutes ;-)

Does the Community Server BlogML Converter work with 2008?
@Andrew,
No, it doesn't. I have to update my code for the new API and hopefully will do that very soon.
Should be a heck of a lot nicer now using the REST API :-)
Any progress on the CS 2008 BlogML Converter? I was just about to try the 2007 version on my 2008 install, but I'm guessing based on your comment that it won't work. I'm trying to do a migration this week. :)
@Bryan:
Actually I haven't had any chance to work on this. My plan was to build a converter for BlogML 2.5 after I released it but my busy schedule hasn't let me to do this.

Damn... now that I just upgraded the Communty Credit AddOn to CS2007 I've to do it again for CS2008!! :)
I hope the add-on API didn't not change that much
