Check out the new site at www.codeplex.com. This is a new Microsoft Community site to allow developers from around the world to work together on new projects.

Here's the bullet points I have gleaned so far:

• Property Improvements
• Support for MultiValued Properties
• Properties with Open or Closed Choice Lists - users can select froma list administered by the administrator (Closed Choice List) or Add new items themselves (Open Choice).. think "Tags"
• property Mapping with other data sources besides Active Directory (through the Business Data Catalog
