Private v. Public
Is there any thought on the public- versus private-facing aspects of Tender? Naturally, having a publicly accessible interface would be great for a number of projects, but I can say the same for keeping things locked down a bit, too, depending on the situation. I'm mostly thinking of private Lighthouse projects here; having a similarly private Tender project would seem to make sense.

We have plans to allow private notes in discussions between support
users of a site. I want to try making Lighthouse ticket updates
synced to the Tender discussion as private notes.

Very cool, I can't wait!

I hope this comes about soon! I'm really hoping to use this with my new business but only want people who actually purchase my products to be able to view the discussions. The Knowledgebase is fine public, but the discussions need to be private.
Hope that will be a possibility! Thanks and loving the service so far (testing)!

Jay: you can that one of two ways: setup your Tender site as a
private site and create user profiles for your customers. Or you can
set the categories themselves to private, forcing every issue from you
customers to be private. They'll be able to see the site and the
FAQs, but will only see their own discussions.

How's the private beta support coming along, or has it been canned altogether? We'd like to build our tender/help site before releasing it (and commercially sensitive data like FAQs and knowledgebase articles) to the public.
A simple switch to password protect the whole site would suit us fine, and I'm sure would suit a lot of other business who don't want to give away their commercial smarts before they're ready.
Thanks

Hey Kev,
Actually it's public now.
If you go to your site settings from the admin area and scroll down, you'll see the private option you can enable.
