Any progress on Org 2.0?asked by Thechronos1

TL;DROrg 2.0 is part of a larger proposed replacement of the website's chat and forums, still in design and not yet being built; hopefully in place this year, with no further ETA.

Yes, Org 2.0 is part of an entire proposed revamp of our chat and forum system. So it's much bigger than just, here's a thing for orgs.

Oh, I saw the new forum stuff, but it looks really cool.

Jared HuckabyHost, Community Manager

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? But they're still working on the proposal, still working out all the plans for the technical parts, how it all links together. But it's all part of a bigger proposal to replace the chat, replace the forums, basically the way that you communicate on our website. Because we don't want to just develop something just for orgs. We want to develop a bespoke solution for our entire website. So we can move away from Vanilla Forums, because Vanilla Forums, of course, has quite a few limitations. So we can move away from the chat, the XMPP chat that's currently there. So yeah, it's part of a much bigger thing. So that's why it's taking as long as it is. So they haven't started building it. They're still designing it at this point. But hopefully that's something we'll have in place this year. No ETA beyond that.
