Nice one! Will 2.9 include dynamic models (i.e. no restarting app to take affect) and/or forms for DM?

Regards

Does "Labs" mean that this release is not recomended for using in production systems?
If so, in what time do you plan to release the stable build?

Everyone:

We are pleased to announce the availability of Alfresco Community 2.9 Labs.

Hello,

could anyone please advise me on where to find it? Is it only available in SVN head or is also available somewhere as a build.

Thanks

Please refer: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Roadmap

To answer a few of these questions:

Does "Labs" mean that this release is not recomended for using in production systems?
If so, in what time do you plan to release the stable build?

1 - Yes, as stated in the announcement, this is for test and evaluation only at this stage.
2 - Keep an eye on the wiki for details

Where can I find some infos about the IM Presence integration?

IM Presence is a demo only in this release - it's actually only a small part of a broader collaborative offering.
- Login to the web client as admin
- The Manage System Users console now has two additional fields for each user: Presence Provider and Username. (Skype and Yahoo only supported)
- To add the demo view to a space, browse to…

http://<server>:8080/alfresco/service/ui/presence/config‍

…and enter the full nodeRef of the target space.
- IM Presence will be shown only for those users and groups explicitly invited to the space

could anyone please advise me on where to find it?

Downloads are found in the downloads section of our SourceForge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfresco/

what about jcr-rmi?
highlighted search results?
thumbnails for pdf/ppt documents (in search results too)?

Version 2.9 concentrates on showcasing our collaborative features. If there are specific areas of functionality you feel are missing, please raise an appropriate issue in JIRA

Thanks,
Mike

I just tested the presence feature using Mike's guide. To get it working I also had to enable http status in Skype client Options (that is, outside of Alfresco). If it was not enabled, http:/mystatus.skype.com/skypeusername.txt returns 'Unknown', presence feature did not handle this (the little arrow icon keeps looping). Think it may just be a case problem (unknown/Unknown)

More important though, allow users configure their own Presence provider, no admin would enjoy tracking down IM user names and add manually.
But that is probably coming along with a lot more cool collaboration features.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback. I'd forgotten to mention the privacy settings in Skype (and Yahoo for that matter). Strange you're seeing problems with the ajax spinner on "unknown", but that code's been revised since the release, so please bear with it for now. There are some issues with IE not quite handling the CSS contextual selectors properly, so this early cut might be browser-sensitive.

We'll be adding the properties to the user-accessible properties page too.

Thanks,
Mike

Does the 2.9 Labs includes the upcoming changes on the WCM related to the user permissions and the other changes 2.2 will bring?

I noticed that, in the NYC Product Roadmap, there is a Flex SDK with this release. How do I get to it? From a Higher Ed, we need a better UI/UX for the web interface to meet the accessibility requirements.

Thanks

Found some information:
> Internally, we've successfully plugged Web Scripts behind a Flex app.

> In SVN HEAD you can see Flex components at:

> /modules/ace/src/util/webscript &

So, I assume that is not yet packaged in the 2.9Labs..

Hi

Does this version fix the v2.1 issue of all email notifications being reflected as from alfresco@alfresco.org?

Thanks

What about Lucene index sharing between cluster nodes? Is there any progress on this topic in 2.9 Labs?

I've noticed reading the Wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Indexer_Changes) that you were evaluating SOLR as a solution to various indexing issues. Is this possibility still being investigated?

OK, what is exactly ECM Form Integration and how can we test it?

Will Alfresco 2.9/3.0 support Glassfish v2/v3? I'm trying to deploy Alfresco on this application server but, although I've solved many incompabilities due to Alfresco JSF implementation (Apache's MyFaces), many errors occur.

Maybe the right question should be: is Alfresco 2.9 still MyFaces dependent?

Thank you and good job!

Please, don't release it without writing a proper documentation. There hasn't been a proper admin documentation since 1.4, the wiki is incomplete, and most of the configuration is just completely undocumented, making it totally unusable.

Or please write a tool to ease the configuration. Right now it's just a nightmare.
