Teambox 2 scheduled for November 16th
— November 7 2009
It’s been some time since we announced Teambox 2 was in the works. Since Andrew joined the team, it was clear how we could all benefit from a new product rewritten from scratch.
Teambox 1 taught us many lessons, and in the way to the new version we’ve done things as they should have been in the first place.
What’s new?
Feature-wise, the focus has been on collaboration. Teambox 2 replaces the group chat for a Project Overview wall, where you can post updates like in Twitter.
Tasks have undergone a major evolution, and they are now full-featured conversations. This way, it’s easy to plan and keep track of the whole history of the task from the beginning to the end.
The whole interface has been redesigned to have quick access to recently used items. The sidebar is used for project navigation.
What will happen to my data?
All your data will be migrated to Teambox 2, so you will be able to benefit from all the same features and more! Because of this, Teambox will be down for maintenance during Nov 15th.
A cleaner and leaner code
The Rails community has evolved a lot since Teambox was born. So have we. The new release has cleaner templates with HAML, tests with RSpec and Cucumber, fewer dependencies and has been structured in an organized way.
Being an open-source project means having a solid code, easy to understand and extend. You can still use it for free online, or download it for use in your own server!
It’s been a long way, and we’re happy to walk it with you. Without your support, feedback and contributions we’d have never been able to do this. We really hope you enjoy Teambox 2!
