As announced earlier today, Community Server 2008 is now available!  CS2008 includes many exciting new features: embedded video and audio, real friend support, widgets, mini-communities a.k.a. groups, improved messaging, and more.

To help everyone make the jump to CS2008, I plan on publishing technical articles covering features that I was involved with:

1. Changes to Chameleon (CS2007 to CS2008)
2. How to Upgrade Themes from CS2007 to CS2008
3. How to Support Widgets in a Custom Theme
4. How to Implement Custom Widgets
5. Implementing Custom File Viewers
6. An overview of the Centralized File System (CFS)

I'll try my best to post an article-per-day.

Are there other topics related to CS2008 that you'd like me to cover?  Let me know in the comments.
