I too would also like to see a comparison chart of Clearspace vs. Sharepoint. We're currently looking at the advntages of Sharepoint. I would also like to see case studies of orgs that switched from Sharepoint to Clearspace.

The exposure is nice, but I'm disappointed there were no real facts or comparison points in this article. I'd love to derail sharepoint on the home front. However, I can't point someone who's on the fence to this and say, "see it's great because their strategy office says so plus they say their like Apple." I don't recall Apple having a large market share in corporate america.

You can get an idea of scaling here: http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/clearspace/beta/RecommendedEnvironmentsforClearspaceDeployments.html#ExampleJVMSettings

People can create, comment on, and edit content in Clearspace via Web browser or any email client out of the box. That means you could write or comment on a Clearspace blog, ask or comment on a question, write or comment on a document, or create a task using your Notes email. Or Gmail. Or BlackBerry. Doesn't matter.

Also, you can integrate Clearspace with just about anything, but if you're specifically asking, "what connectors are available with which applications," a la Lotus Connections and Quickr and Sametime, then the answer is that there are no connectors or plugins available out of the box. However, since Clearspace's API is quite robust, it wouldn't be too difficult to write a Notes 8+/Sametime 7.51+ plugin using said API. More details here: REST - http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/clearspace/beta/RestServicesReference.html; SOAP - http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/clearspace/beta/ClearspaceWebServicesDevGuide.html

I think this looks excellent. I have some colleagues saying things like it wont scale as well as Lotus connections and such things like that. I think this si more to do with the fact they are sceptical that it wont integrate with lotus products i.e. Notes and Sametime. Is there any info available of the scale and integration possibilities of this product? i.e. how big will it go and what will it work with?

hi David,

I'm not sure what you mean by FOC, but if you're asking if 2.0.x customers can upgrade to 2.5, then the answer is yes, without a doubt.

Cheers,

Is the 2.5 upgrade FOC for existing 2. users?

Dave,

I would love to hear more about the "Conversation Everywhere" function in the new 2.5. It sounds like it could really answer a lot of community issues, but I would like to hear a little more.

Thanks,

Phil
