| Oct 4, 2016 at 10:56 | comment | added | Owen Niblock | When I tried to sign up - I was getting an error message. And I'm inherently lazy (and quite busy) so I gave up. It wasn't until someone invited me (rather than my own joining of the private beta) that it actually let me access the questions. | |

| Oct 3, 2016 at 20:45 | comment | added | Derek Dysart | @RobertCartaino I don't see it mentioned, above, but half of this "beta" period was during a time where the vast majority of people who commited to this site where at a major trade show for Sitecore. This isn't us just screaming "no fair" - we have not had a legit amount of time to populate this site. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 20:28 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | I too was a Symposium so didn't have active projects for a week where help was needed or time to help others. Please do extend. Thanks. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:33 | comment | added | Jean-François L'Heureux | I would love a one month extension as well. I thought a private beta was as long as it would take to get momentum and satisfying stats. I come here every other day to see if there are questions I can answer with my expertise. | |

| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:16 | comment | added | Zachary Kniebel | @RobertCartaino I would also ask you not to hold against the community the fact that it appears as though many of those who are commenting here, myself included, have not yet contributed to this meta. I assure you that I have, and am trying to track down the reason why my contributions are not currently displaying. I'm sure that I am not the only one. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:11 | comment | added | Zachary Kniebel | @RobertCartaino I would like to request an extension, as well. Please understand that the majority of the community leaders (those invited to the private beta) were all away at a Sitecore conference for the first week of this beta, and were playing catch-up for the following week. If we can get an extension, we can easily invite additional users and show you the increase in support that you're looking for. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:07 | comment | added | JohnD | Agreed with the above, and I don't believe that using the number of questions at StackOverflow under the sitecore tag is a fair benchmark. I personally don't treat asking SO questions about Sitecore to be fruitful, simply because of the lower density of Sitecore knowledge, whereas a dedicated site for the platform allows subject experts to focus their efforts answering high quality questions. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:07 | comment | added | scFootsteps | @RobertCartaino we didn't see anywhere this private beta only last two weeks. Give us extension | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:04 | comment | added | Jon Upchurch | Considering this launched the week that 50% of the community was at Symposium this is a no-brainer. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 19:01 | comment | added | Corey Smith | @RobertCartaino I appreciate that you extended the private beta to three weeks, but the site started the same week Sitecore had a major conference that took a huge amount of us away our projects and computers. We lost an entire week of traction due to the launch date. As stated above, I don't think any of us knew the private beta would only last 2 weeks, and if we had the community would have been more vigilant promoting it. I second Pete-Navarra's request for a one month extension. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:58 | comment | added | mservais | I'm requesting the extension as well. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:56 | comment | added | Hetal Dave | I request for an extension too. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:51 | comment | added | Richard Seal Mod | I would ask for an extension also - it really was not clear of the requirements to get out of the private beta | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:47 | comment | added | Pete Navarra | @RobertCartaino Give us one more month in Private Beta, and we will represent. That is all I ask. No one was aware that the Private Beta was only two weeks. This is information that had we known, we would've used a different strategy. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:33 | comment | added | Dmytro Shevchenko | @RobertCartaino I think there have been a misunderstanding. What we were aiming at was not the amount, but the quality of content. The people involved are the best of the Sitecore community, and honestly, I have never seen this amount of quality Sitecore-related content appear anywhere in such a short time. We were really trying to show how good we can be at creating good content when we have a platform, a place of our own. We didn't attempt to attract the broader part of the community which would bring in more activity and more content. I truly believe this site deserves another chance. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:16 | comment | added | Pete Navarra | But the Commitment stage, and stages prior are slow burns, right? At least not to my knowledge, was there anything that said "Private Beta only lasts 2 weeks." | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 18:15 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | @PeteNavarra Barely half of the people who committed to creating this site showed up for the private beta. There has never been a significant spike in users going into public beta. This is not an arbitrary decision; it's based on the real experiences of launching 200+ sites.This has to happen during the private beta and this site, unfortunately, did not have enough momentum to create a successful launch. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:58 | comment | added | Pete Navarra | @RobertCartaino Yeah super ridiculous that Private Beta is so short. You can't get to the numbers provided without being in Public Mode. The "Log In" prompt is "Private" message turns off a lot of contributors. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:50 | comment | added | nickwesselman | @RobertCartaino wow this is ridiculous, we don't even get a chance at a public beta? | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:50 | comment | added | Richard Seal Mod | what happens to the earned reputation? | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:43 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | @RichardSeal The content will be archived and linked to the original proposal for re-use. I wish it did not turn out this way, but we extended the private beta from two to three weeks to allow for the possibility of extenuating circumstances like vacations, etc, and still the growth is only about half in comparison to sites that eventually work. This comes from studying hundreds of sites we launched (successes and those that did not make it) and unfortunately, going public and hoping people will show up later has never worked. So we have to make this happen in private beta. | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | Richard Seal Mod | What will happen to all the very useful information that is now on this site? | |
| Oct 3, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | Richard Seal Mod | That seems very harsh considering its been less than 3 weeks! And the support we had to get this to private beta was beyond anything any other community has put together. What are you expecting from a private beta? This seems like a very short sighted decision. | |
