Clearspace 2.0 Beta Sandbox

Posted by Greg Unrein on Mar 19, 2008 1:46:37 PM

Following up on Nick's post from yesterday, there is now a public sandbox for the 2.0 beta. The beta sandbox is set up with Clearspace, not Clearspace X, but you can check out all of the new features that are in both products in the sandbox. You can register as a new user in the sandbox, but please be aware that the instance and data will be taken offline in early April with the general release of 2.0.

 

The best place to contribute is in the Clearspace Beta space. Thanks again for all your questions, comments, and feedback over the past few weeks!

Projects are created through /admin???

Mar 19, 2008 2:38 PM Greg Unrein Greg Unrein    says in response to S3Indiana:

You should be able to create them through the end user UI. Go to the space you want to create the project in and you should see a "Create Project" action. If that isn't what you are seeing then we probably have a configuration problem on the sandbox.

Copy... So is there a trick regarding the Org Chart (http://eval2.jivesoftware.com/beta/people/admin?view=orgchart)?

Mar 19, 2008 3:22 PM Greg Unrein Greg Unrein    says in response to S3Indiana:

For the most part the Org Chart is intended to be driven by data in LDAP or Active Directory. For deployments that are not based on the directory there are a couple of options for setting up that data.

 

The first option has a user administrator entering the reporting structure in the admin console in a tabular form.

 

The second option is to have people drive the Org Chart socially. Basically, you can set yourself as the manager for someone else. However, this change needs approval and both the current manager and the person who's manager is changing are emailed to let them know that you made the change so there is social pressure to avoid messing around.

Guessing that Rich Text view for documents is not activated (don't even see the Preview tab) for the Beta Sandbox. Hopefully not a default...

Are you using Safari 3/Firefox 3 beta/IE 8 beta? There are known issues with these browser versions and RTE.

I see a calendar under a project (http://eval2.jivesoftware.com/beta/community/welcome/projects/clearspace-20-testing) and associated with tasks, but is there a general community calendar capability?

Apr 2, 2008 11:25 AM Greg Unrein Greg Unrein    says in response to S3Indiana:

For 2.0 there is no general calendar available. The calendar view of tasks and checkpoints in 2.0 is intended as a simple view into the next two weeks of activity on the project. We plan to include a more general calendar in a future release in the medium term, though.
