There are several/many reasons this has become or made available. If you have read my writings about "SIPify" you might know already the concept. Simply, we need to see faster adoption of open standards for other forms of IP Communications such as VoIP or IM. One of the ways to do that is to get the technology into the hands of every home and developer out there. Now CGP can be installed on any home computer or laptop even, and any user can connect to that home server no matter where they are in the world and make calls, receive calls, use presence, email, whatever. We also have had for years many requests from our admin's to run CGP at home as well....this will now enable all admin's to take home what they use at work. The Community Edition is the same software, nothing disabled, allowing as I said, five added user accounts. I have mentioned several weeks back that we will announce this more widespread (public PR and marketing) once we have the new community website available. This new website will be a place for regular users and also developers. Many of you know by now that CGP now includes a development environment and language (CG/PL). We want to see more applications developed and shared on this community site, plus more real world stories and info about how CGP is being used. This site will be sponsored by CGS, but will be a community run and driven concept. So, help spread the word and adoption, install CGP at home, at the parents home, anyplace that can become a network node for IP Communications. If you are interested in coding, look at the applications shipped with CGP, modify them, make new ones, share ideas. CGP has shown that's its architecture scales cleanly, with less resources, and less administration than any platform we have seen, but it also scales down because of that same architecture. Have fun... Regards, Jon
