We’re going to be releasing a new version of the developer network this weekend once we complete testing. Most likely it will be at midnight EST on July 25th (today) if everything goes well.
We’ve decided to go ahead and release some much requested features ahead of a much larger release at the end of August.
Here is a summary of some of the major features that will be available:
Preview a post before you send it
You can now preview a post before posting it. Here’s a screenshot of a preview. You can go back and forth between preview and edit until you’ve got it looking like you want it.
Personalized RSS feeds for groups
We now support 2 additional customized feeds for groups. You can get a feed of the last discussions across all groups or just a feed of your group activities – either topics you’ve started or ones that you’ve participated in.
Props to our top members
We want to continue giving props to our top members – thanks so much for participating. We love you. Code strong!
Member group activity on profile pages
We’re now showing some recent group activity on a members profile page.
IPhone support
At appcelerator, we love the iphone. So, we’ve updated the network to have a streamlined iphone experience – mainly for groups for now. It’s pretty basic – we’ll expand it as you give us some direction in what you’d like to see.
We’d love your feedback once it’s up and running. Keep the requests coming…

Jeff,
Maybe we should provide more visual cues to the user that the RSS icons are contextual and actually link to different feeds depending on the page you are on. This wasn’t obvious to me before reading this blogpost and for those who join the community from this point forward they may never read this.
