Chris| October 25th, 2007
We’re pleased to announce today the release of ThoughtFarmer 2.4! It makes enterprise wikis friendlier and easier to manage than ever before.
Here’s a quick look at some of the new features.
Group pages with self-subscription
Create group pages for teams, projects and departments. Assign members yourself, or let users self-subscribe.

Synchronize ThoughtFarmer with Active Directory
Copy information back and forth between ThoughtFarmer and Active Directory with new 2-way AD synchronization. Select whether ThoughtFarmer or AD is the master for each field. Create custom data capture fields to sync a wide array of information.
