The project auction of Collaborative Projects 2.0 was highly beneficial for the GeneXus Users Group in Montevideo, whose members met last Friday at Artech's offices to evaluate the potential of each project, express their needs and join efforts to carry out the common proposals -on the Community Wiki there's a list of ideas available for anyone who wants to develop them.
In addition, new projects have been added to both categories:
