Does this forums concern only zimbra collaboration, or does it concern zimbra community product as well ?
I don't even know what are the legacy terms to talk about each products, please en-light me.
I'm a bit lost because when I search for "ajax session" because I have a problem with ZCS with session opening when it is ajax session, but no problem with standard session(html) or mobile session. But when I search for "ajax session opening" I got plenty result for community product, which (apologize) I don't care about.  
I would like to have a clear scope to search for, only on zimbra collaboration server product EXCLUDING zimbra community forums product. 
Is that possible ?
I think the whole ZCS community get concerned, and from my point of view ZIMBRA company should NOT mix community product and collaboration product in the same forum as they do not either share common API, OS nor technology.

The problem is that many users call the Open Source version of Zimbra Collaboration the "community" version. It was never called that and the fact that it's now with a company that does have a product called "Community" is causing confusion. I'm afraid it's a distinction that people will have to become used to.



The products are in distinctly different section of the forums and there should be no problems if they look at, and actually read, yhe forum titles. [:)]

I kind of liked that 'oops' with the temporary forums being the "Zimbra Email product" for a bit, just because it made a clear distinction between the forum product... but it does underscore the cool features of ZCS.

I think a lot of the confusion comes from the bad habit of oversimplifying the open source version as a 'community' version. The community grows the open source! and whatnot.



Both products can also be abbreviated as ZCS too, so it adds to the confusion. :p

Hi dominix, phoenix, iamauser,
This Forums are temporal (https://community.zimbra.com/zforums914/). We will start using the Forums for Zimbra Collaboration very soon, with all of the old information inside, you can check it here - http://community.zimbra.com/collaboration/
All of the new posts that we wrote here for this weeks will be moved to the new Forums.
Is normal have a little confusion with the Community name, like as phoenix said, Zimbra Collaboration Open Source Edition was called Community for long time. But I prefer the actual name, Open Source, is more easy to understand the core of Zimbra Collaboration, and special in this version.
But also you can check it the Forums for the Community product here - http://community.zimbra.com/support/f/1816
Best regards!

you got me wrong.
I do not mix zimbra OS and community, I clearly talk about the fact that the telligent community product and the zimbra collaboration product are on the same "forums" so when I search for some specific zimbra problem I got specific telligent community product answert, which do not helps.
you got it ?

We just made some changes to the community home page (more planned). If you search within a community the search will be scoped to only content within that community --- so searching for "zimbra admin" in the Collaboration community would return only content found in that community.
