I hope CB 2.0 will bring all the state of the art community and administration features that are missing.
In my case I wouldnt need those features. I appreciate CB for its flexibility. JS is an out of the box "take it or leave it" solution.

I have been working for some years with Joomla, but I am a total newbie to CB
And for a new site I have to develop (deadline : mid-January) I was intending to use CB.
So this announcement of new generation of CB is surely excellent news.
But what is the (estimated) timing / roadmap for beta, RC and production versions ?
I would indeed clearly prefer to work directly on the new tool to avoid having to have to "remake" a new learning curve.
I don't think he meant any negativity by it [and I certainly don't] but I think the point he's trying to make is JomSocial is much more user friendly and easier to get started with. This is part of the reason I went with CB Professional (the support feature). But even the support (while admittedly responsive as touted) only referred me to what I already knew. CB is a great product but if you can't figure out how to use it, it's no good.
Now the good news is I got it figured, but that was not because of the support. With a product as versatile as CBP, I would think there would be a step by step getting started section, something similar to what Joomla offers. I think CBP is a better product than JS. But if we can figure out a way to make it a bit more usually friendly that would go a long way towards making a great product even better
i want a simple function: square thumbs for the avatar like every other socials
i hacked imgToolbox.class.php for doing this, i hope in CB2 this will be a feature embedded
