Zimbra Community 8.0 Released (And Now Open Source)
-
The "new" Zimbra Community product (not to be confused with the Zimbra Collaboration email platform) has recently gone to version 8.0 after having been renamed from Telligent Community. Looks like an interesting social media platform for business. Has anyone played with it? Might be a nice way to do internal social media for a lot of organizations. I hope that we can get this into the NTG Labs at some point to play with.

Not sure. They've done a lot of minor point releases since then, but no real features have updated and the UI is painfully old. They spent two years talking about, and then cancelling the bug UI update - really shot themselves in the foot there showing screenshots, overpromising, and then apparently just giving up. People really put a lot of hope in that and it just turned into vaporware.
Their acquisition by smaller and smaller companies has probably caused a lot of issues as they keep adjusting their focus and whatnot. But five years with no major updates has really showed that they just don't seem to be investing into it like they should. It was such an amazing market leader for so long. Now we worry if any major updates will ever come.
