It has been a long road to get to this point.  As we launch the new site I thought it would be helpful for those members both old and new to do a bit of historical review. 

For those members that started out on the RightFax bulletin board, now several years ago, first, I thank you.  I am greatful to our community of Power Users, and all the support they have provided in the open section of the site all these years, both prior to its move from Tucson, and on the former site.  We are exploring ways to express our thanks, so stay tuned, we know who you are.

For those folks that do recall the former site, our intent here is to return to that time, not in terms of the location or technology, but in terms of the spirit.  The success of our products has clearly been in part to our community of developers.  You have done amazing things.  One of the things I believe we lost as we moved from the old site to the former bulletin board was the sense of community.  The partitioning of the forums, the lack of a Captaris presence in the open forum section, detracted from that sense of developers helping developers.

So, we have listened, and, I believe, have defined the site in a way to facilitate communication at all levels.  As you will see, the separation of forums based on whether you are a subscriber to the pay program or not has gone away.  The site is open to everyone that has registered and the only difference in content between the "registered" user section and the "pay" section are in the downloads.  We are now providing the Developer Kits via electronic download for those paying subscribers.  The rest of the site will be the same for everyone.

We have also made no separation on the site between our end-users and our partners.  This was something that we thought long and hard on and ultimately decided to open the site up to both.  Our hope is that everyone is respectful of this relationship and we can continue this approach going forward.

With that I will move on to the next topic, and the exciting look forward.
