BETA - The end of the beginning

We are closing up beta application to keep our sanity!
Beta applications closed

So we asked you to apply for a beta account... And what happens? Due to the huge amount of applications we've decided to turn activeCollab into an beta sign-up app...

Ok, so we're kidding – but with the whole Web 2.0 feat. beta status going around you can't blame us. :) We were planning to keep the beta sign-up page open until the actual beta kicks off, but because of the overwhelming number of applications and the fact that an actual human being has to go through them – we decided it's time to close the application phase of the beta.

Further instructions about the beta will be posted on the blog and also sent to those of you who applied – so stay tuned. If you have any questions about the activeCollab 1.0 beta program, you should check the FAQ list or ask in the commments if you don't find an answer.

Now it's time to go through all your applications... Thanks for your interest, the extra coffe I'll be buying to stay awake – and see you in beta!

You can always sign up for the RSS feed , ebatte! That way you don’t miss the next one.

There’s an RSS feed you can track using your preferred reader.

Hmm, I couldn’t find the anwser on this anywhere, but which version is going to be tested during private beta? Lite or Pro?

Oh, and I hope you haven’t run out of coffee yet. =)

@Simon: All plugins that we plan to launch with activeCollab 1.0 will be available to beta testers.

Hi

Ilija: I subscribe to beta tester few days ago, but since today I haven’t got any mail how can I download the new beta release.
What did I wrong?

So…,. any news on how this is going?
when’s the beta beeing tested? how’s it looking? Are the rest of us going to get a taste?
avatar Skynarc 2007-06-01 4:13 #14
Damnit! How’d I miss this release!!!

We really need it because we’re about to buy Software to replace activeCollab, and I wanted to test it…

Open the gates again! :)
avatar Ilija Studen 2007-06-01 4:41 #15
@aris: Beta is still being prepared. As explained in frequently asked questions, it will launch in a month or two.
avatar Guest 2007-06-01 10:02 #16
Sheesh. I can’t believe I just missed this! I’m using activeCollab now for our design studio full-time… any way to get in on this?
avatar Ilija Studen 2007-06-01 2:47 #17
Hi David,

Beta applications are closed. Sorry :’( We simply don’t have resources to accept any more applications.
avatar Guest 2007-06-05 5:32 #18
I know this was posted a couple of weeks ago, but is there a release date for 1.0 Pro yet? We’re evaluating project management systems at the moment, and very impressed with ActiveCollab – but need to see the new version before making a decision!
avatar ideapower 2007-06-05 7:52 #19
closing the beta applications is understandable… but how about some screen shots or a preview video for those of us who are curious about what it’s like? i’m at the point of needing to make a decision between aC, basecamp, etc VERY soon… so the more info i can get now the better. (and i’m sure this is the case with many others as well)
avatar Guest 2007-06-05 8:10 #20
I applied before the application time closed. But, did not recieve an email. Does that mean I am not in the beta? Will I recieve an email to let me know either way?

Thank you.

@ideapower:

Screenshots, videos that demonstrate most important features of new versions, complete feature list and so on will be posted in due time.

If you need to make the decision soon (and I assume you do) subscribe to our newsletter and go for Basecamp. When activeCollab 1.0 becomes available you will be notified and then you’ll have more data to work with.

Basecamp importer will be provided as a free addon so you will be able to move your data from Basecamp to activeCollab if you decide to go with activeCollab.

@joe:

Nobody got any emails yet.

System will email invitation codes to people. If you don’t receive an email when beta kicks off hold on for a while. We don’t plan to invite all the people at the same time.
avatar ideapower 2007-06-07 12:17 #22
ah, ok then. sounds like a plan :) this all sounds very exciting.
avatar Guest 2007-06-20 9:12 #23
do i have a change to get into the beta this late?!!?
avatar Ilija Studen 2007-06-20 12:06 #24
@wanderer:

We have more than enough beta application, but you can still send us an email and we’ll add you to the waiting list (no guarantees). Check out this comment.
avatar Guest 2007-06-24 2:44 #25
Ilija: My email to you bounced; please contact me at joni (at) pixelita (dot) com. (Don’t worry, it’s not a problem; I wanted to know how I can donate to support further development of this WONDERFUL program!!!) :-)
avatar Guest 2007-07-20 12:37 #26
The 1.0 looks like a great product.
We would like to manage our open source development with it – but there doesn’t seem to be any roadmap… and the last comment in this forum is 3 weeks old…

When will it be available to the public?
