This quiet time during the holidays seem like a good time to give a heads up that some significant changes are coming in the next several weeks!
When we launched this community site as Exchange Point a few years ago, it was built on the Jive platform.
Jive has served us well, but for various reasons, we need to migrate to a different platform.

In many ways, the Lithium platform should be a significant improvement over Jive.
