Community edition vs Alfresco commercial edition

[chuck_irvine]

I've have started playing with an evaluation copy of the commercial version of Activiti. It seems like it is very similar to and probably based on  the 6.0 beta version of the community edition. Can someone confirm? Also, when do we expect that 6.0 community version will move to released status? Thanks!!

It is the other way around. The V6 UI is based on the commercial code, they share the same core code.

"Also, when do we expect that 6.0 community version will move to released status? "

Working on it very hard, but it's done when it's done. In our minds it's 2-3 months away. But that can change of course, we're developers.

In that case, since the commercial code seems to be in released status, why doesn't that apply to the community version as well?

Cause the v6 engine is not yet ready. We decided the new UI was going to be shipped with v6.
The UI is for us a demonstration of the engine capabilities, but not a production-qa-tested application.
