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.

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.
Can't wait to read the articles!
Fantastic. Any real-world examples of how the REST API can be leveraged would be great. Also, if there's any improvements on how to add custom fields, as that comes up time and time again on the forums, it'd be a huge help to a lot of people.
Ryan -- Unfortunately, the REST API is a part of CS2008 that I was not involved with. Documentation with examples should be coming soon once the current documentation reoganization is complete.
For custom fields, do you mean implenting sub-forms? or adding new physical fields to the database? Could you provide a common scenario of what is being requested?
Looking forward to the articles!
