Community Server on my mind

Showcase: Smartson goes Community Server

So, again I managed to keep quite for almost 2 months.

Sometimes the energy for writing is just not there. No writing doesn't mean that nothing has happened though. The content of this article was meant to be published on the 18th of April. So here I'll quote myself on an article that never was published! How about that?

Last Tuesday (read 10 of April), a brand new Swedish Community Server site came to life. The site is a place where both newbies and experts can discuss, read, and write about experiences from different kind of products and gadgets.

The company that started this site is called Smartson and the new site / community is called Testklubben (Swedish for "The Test Club"). Testklubben is currently in beta mode and changes will be done after getting feedback from users and from monitoring how the site works live. One day after it went live it had more than 1500 users

I have been working with Smartson and helped them with developing different modules and controls, setting up the site platform, done some training's etc.

Even though the site is completely in Swedish, I can recommend you to go over there and have a look. I believe they have done a great job in skinning and organizing the site. And it's fun to see (if you know Swedish) how the community grows fast, and some of the interesting discussions and articles that the users write.

I will try to dedicate a few upcoming posts to tell a bit about the modules that are custom made for the site.

Smartson's community now has over 3 000 members, and are in the near future planning to get rid of the Beta label.
