New VMware Update Manager Community

Posted by RDellimmagine Mar 20, 2009

Take a look at the new community for Update Manager.

The product manager and some people on the engineering team have signed up to participate, so ask your questions about VMware Update Manager.

To start this off, I've moved the recent threads tagged "update_mgr" from the ESX 3.5 community to here.

Updated Communities Homepage

Posted by RDellimmagine Mar 4, 2009

We recently updated the Communities homepage, also known as the "Communities" tab in the header of all VMware Web sites. Here's how it looks:

What's new, you ask?

All Communities and My Communities navigation lists are now integrated into this page. See them in two places: as dropdowns at the top (shown above) and in the main body of the page. This page has always shown the top new community content and your own personal statistics -- now it also lets you easily navigate to any community. As a side benefit, we optimized the page for faster load times.

Feedback for the new homepage has been positive. And now that the page has navigation features, I want to make it more visible. This is the ideal homepage because you can go anywhere, see recent community contributions, and see how the community receives your contributions, all from one place. This makes it easier to interact with other community members.

In the next week or so, I plan to replace the old homepage (which has only the navigation features) with this one. Meanwhile, if you haven't seen the new homepage, take a look and let me know if your feedback.
