Although there has not been much visible development on this site for a while now the concept of Synusia network has been developing and I still think there is a place for this kind of a site.
We recenty started a new project (nuemo) with a colleague of mine and I got the opportunity to explore the possibilities of this site in practice. read more »
You can now use your openid to log into your account. This feature might still be a bit buggy though. To enable your openid: login to your account -> profile -> openID identities (tab) -> add identity.
If you don't yet have an openid identity you can get one eg from myopenid.com. If you don't know what openid is you can get a detailed intro at openid.net. Basically it is a digital identity which allows you for example to use the same userid and password on every openid enabled site (which is nice).

3. Consumer design, which refers eg to consumers being active in product development by submitting and voting for feature requests read more »
New Server: The site has finally got a reasonably fast web server. There should be significant improvement in the responsiveness of the site. Downtime is expected to be reduced as well.

- General discussion -content type, can be created in a "group" view (right sidebar), this is meant to be a kind of a fall-back content type when the topic is not really an idea or a problem
- Problem -content type, can also be created in the header action menu
- Chatroom experimental: currently a java-based IRC -application, probably not the best approach
- New "theme" and look: practical reasons, this theme is designed to be customized and extended to.
- Some more minor changes...
