Here at Adobe Labs, you'll not only have direct access to early builds of cutting-edge technology, but many ways in which to interact with both the Adobe development teams building that technology, and other like-minded members of the community pushing its boundaries.
Within the Adobe Labs wiki, you'll be able to comment on and contribute to best practices documents, code samples, and other resources provided to get you up to speed quickly, and help us better shape our products and technical documentation. We strongly recommend you bookmark (or consume) the RSS feed for the Adobe XML News Aggregator (MXNA)—which is a fantastic resource for keeping up to date with the Adobe weblog community. If you have a weblog of your own which is focused on Adobe technology and products, you can submit it to MXNA and add your voice, too.
You'll also find—located in the Community tab for each technology and product—handy links and resources to other community resources of interest and assistance. By tracking these resources, you can stay in touch with various community resources and in turn make your technology evaluation and experimentation as rich an experience as possible.
Online forums are also available for each product and technology on Adobe Labs, helping to catalyze the discussions around these areas of development. The forums currently available for Adobe Labs products and technologies are:
- Labs General Feedback forum
- Lightroom 2.0 forum
- Lightroom SDK forum
- LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 forum
- Mars General Discussion forum
- myFeedz General Discussion forum
- PDF iFilter 8 - 64-bit Support
- RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR forum
- SHARE forum
- SHARE API forum
- Spry framework for Ajax (Prerelease) forum
By subscribing to the Adobe Labs RSS feed (available in RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom formats), you'll always be up-to-date on new releases and updates. You can also review these changes directly at the Adobe Labs weblog.
But most importantly, the Adobe Labs community includes people like you—working and collaborating around the most current technologies and products available. We're looking forward to engaging you in the discussions that will help shape the future of Adobe products and technologies.
If you want to learn more about releases on Labs as well as other Adobe technologies, visiting a user group or connecting with an Adobe Community Expert is a great place to start. If you would like to help improve Adobe products, Adobe regularly conducts many types of research activities and is always looking for paid participants, at all levels of experience.
