Let me just say that the new iFolder team and Product Management is very much 
aware of the iFolder potential. I have seen the new version and it is great! 
But it still can become better. All is focused now on getting the product 
stable and released. After that, I am sure there will be more attention to the 
open source community.

Hi all,

Well, at least some news on iFolder is better than none I guess. 

Its a real shame, I think Novell has really missed the ball on this one.  The 
iFolder project just seems to barely limp along with very slow progress.  Given 
how much coverage some "web 2.0" companies get with products that are/were 
similar to iFolder its really surprising how low profile Novell have kept 
iFolder.  The iFolder product is a cracking idea, but just one that never seems 
to have been given any pro-longed focus.

It seems that Novell just don't know what to do with it.  I know your saying 
its going to be in OES 2, but is OES even a major focus of Novell?  Now I 
didn't go to Brainshare '07, and to be honest I've kind of lost track of 
Novell's message over the past year - but iFolder has such wide opportunities 
in both corporate and even hosted personal usage that its sad its been 
neglected over the years, and looks to be neglected for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, thats just my thoughts as someone who has drifted away from Novell in 
the past year or two..

Cheers,
Steve.

The open sorce version tends to be more advanced and ahead of the version

The version delivered with OES is the only version that receives official 
support through NTS. 


That's it....
