activeCollab 1.0 BETA – Any Takers?
We have been working long hours and late nights to get the new version of activeCollab ready, and now – you can get a taste! How? Well, since the premise of the development of activeCollab has always been user feedback and feature requests, we think the time has come once again to call on our biggest asset – the users! Yes, that's you.
We will be releasing the beta of activeCollab 1.0 to all those who want to try out all the new features and the new activeCollab interface – but only to a limited number of users who apply on the beta sign up page. After you apply for a beta testing account and you are approved, an invitation code will be emailed to you. Using this code you can create a completely new activeCollab installation on our test server. Don't worry, all the data you enter can be exported at any time.
We want you to test the hell out of activeCollab! Use it, play with it, break it if you can! Those who help us improve activeCollab by providing feedback can expect a brand new shiny activeCollab Pro license when the full version is released. Remember, the number of test accounts is limited – so sign up!
If you have any more questions, this list should answer them. If not, feel free to ask more!
When will activeCollab beta be launched?
There is no exact date set – but we hope to be ready in a month or two.
Why should I apply?
For one thing – you will be helping shape activeCollab 1.0. All we do is based on feedback from the community and the final 1.0 version will be heavily influenced by what the beta testers say. Providing feedback on the beta will also earn you a free license of activeCollab Pro!
Does this mean activeCollab 1.0 is going to be a hosted service?
No. You will still be able to download and install activeCollab on your own server. Nothing changes in that regard.
Why can't I download the beta and use it on my own server?
The process of downloading and updating your setup every five days wouln't work well and would probably drive both you and us crazy. Instead, with an account on our server where we do all the upgrades and patching, you can just sit back, relax and use activeCollab!
Still here? Don't forget to sign up for the beta!

P.S. I have applied for the beta :)
If so, me likey!
ActiveCollab is a great product already I cant wait to see what else will be available
just cannot wait ....
Ilija, why? Unless I’m mistaking and there will be a public beta eventually.
People who don’t want to host sensitive data on our servers should wait for 1.0 or use beta for projects that are not that sensitive (personal projects, stuff like that).
Sorry, we just can’t waste a month or two on public beta, not this time at least.
