You may be aware that we typically deploy new features on our production sites (including groupserver.org), as soon as they are tested and that there is unfortunately some lag before they get packaged into a release. We are doing what we can to increase the release frequency. If you want to know what's coming in terms of features, I suggest that you keep an eye on the OnlineGroups.Net news: http://onlinegroups.net/ or http://onlinegroups.net/news-atom.xml As an example, here's the one about uploading files as attachments. http://onlinegroups.net/news?id=270
Greetings Dan Increased release frequency is good news, although one spends much time and effort in getting a version Zope/GroupServer Instance functional and customized and is not likely to abandon it for a new flavour too readily. The storage of email file attachments in the files directory is certainly an interesting development. Running a good virus checker over the storage area is well worth considering as some viruses are very smart in adding virus attachments to outgoing emails. You bypass email virus scanning by down loading attachments with a web browser, although a good anti-virus program will do both. Regards Richard Richard Solly http://eforum.darebin.vic.gov.au/

With installations of version 0.9 and later, the core code can be
updated dynamically via subversion. We are gradually moving GroupServer
to a much more modular architecture so that things like site interface
templates and the help section can be maintained dynamically. Of course,
custom implementations will always require some manual maintenance, but
we aim to minimise even that.
