Dgroups presented an update to SDC in Bern in March 2009 regarding the migration of its online community platform from D1 to D2. Key points included: - Dgroups has operated its online community platform since 2002 in partnership with various organizations. - By 2008-2009, Dgroups had decided to develop a new platform (D2) using open architecture and plugins, and to fully migrate users from the old D1 platform. - Migration to the new D2 platform, developed by WA Research, was completed in February 2009 and the D1 platform was closed down. The new D2 platform focuses on core functions like email lists and integrates additional apps.
