News

We have a LOT planned for the News section, but we needed to ship V2 so we haven't changed it much functionally from Legacy. It uses the same list, detail, and form technology of the rest of the application. So, in that sense, it's been greatly upgraded. But it still doesn't allow for dynamic content... content like links, more than just profile pictures, comments, 'likes,' RSS or other types of feeds, and social media sharing capabilities. We'd like to introduce all of that, and are considering several different engines and other options that allow for just that. Coming soon!
