With Elguji's commitment to provide quarterly maintenance releases for our products we are happy to announce some of the features that will be available in the Winter '09 release of IdeaJam which will be available in the Lotusphere 2009 time frame. All of the new features in this release have come from our customers. As we like to say "we use our product to build and enhance our product".

1. IBM Lotus Domino XPages Support - For customers running the forthcoming release of IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 they can choose to run IdeaJam using XPages or classic Domino HTTP. Both ship in a single NTF.


2. Advanced Search - Search by IdeaSpace, sub-IdeaSpace search, dates, tags and more


3. Reporting - Export search results to Excel, CSV or XML


4. Web Administration - manage, configure and customize your IdeaJam from a web browser


5. Archiving - Rules based archiving allows you to have one or more rules that determine when and which ideas get archived


6. Delete Ideas from the Web - IdeaJam administrators can now delete ideas from the web


7. Custom IdeaSpace and System Messages - You can now provide custom text messages that appear below IdeaSpace names to assist users. These messages can be easily dismissed by the user. System administrators can create new messages where they have the option to force them to re-display to users who have dismissed them.


8. Improved Tag Clouds - Tag clouds now appear on all pages. The XPages version tag cloud will show tags on an IdeaSpace by IdeaSpace basis.
