While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

    External community members should also get notifications

    Currently external users (be they guests or paid Connections accounts from another org) who are added to a community do not get standard notifications of activity in the communities they are members of. This makes inter-org collaboration less effi...

    Allow Shared Files to be Included in Community Folder

    Allow community files to be shared across multiple community folders

    There is a documented limitation that indicates "you can put a community owned file in only one community folder." This is inconsistent with personal files which allow files to be shared with multiple folders. Allowing a community file to be share...

    Don't show restricted communities where you are NOT a member in Community Overview

    It is possible that somebody creates a restricted community and checks the option to show community name to the organisation. If you where a member in the past for that community, but not anymore, you still see the community in "My Communities" ...

    Consistent customization over all applications

    It is a real pain to change the UI to any Corporate Identity because WebSphere Apps use different UI elements than Component Pack ones. All “integrated” apps like Invite, Touchpoint, Tailored Experience Wizard, ICXT/HCXT, HCEC need handcrafted adj...
