JotBlog

A quick update from the Jot team here at Google. Going forward, I’ll be posting more regularly with updates and questions about Jot usage.

We were excited that Eric unveiled Google’s application strategy at the recent shareholder meeting. This focus is part of why we believed Jot would be such a great fit at Google. While we would have preferred “Search, Ads, JotSpot,” we can live with “Search, Ads, Apps.”

Our work on the port to Google’s infrastructure continues to progress. The team is burning the midnight oil to make sure Jot can handle traffic at the Google scale. We are also working hard to make sure our customers have to make a transition only once. Google, as a policy, does not communicate product roadmaps externally, which we recognize can be frustrating for those of you planning for the future. While some changes will be required to integrate with Google, the fundamental goal of the product remains the same (providing a collaborative wiki extendable through a developer platform). The team is committed to supporting current customers, on the existing product, until we have finished the port. As you would expect, a migration path to the new product will be provided.

I’ll end with a question regarding your current Jot usage: How do you use page comments? How would you like to see them improved? Feel free to reply over on this thread in the Jotspot discussion group.

Thanks for your patience,

Scott
