We just released CiviCRM 3.2.3 – it is now available for download. You can also try it out on our demo site.
At Two Mice and a Strawberry, a client has asked for some customization of the Notes features for Contacts. It happens that these features may also be useful for other objects that use Notes, but at the moment we are primarily interested in getting this working for Contacts.
In the CiviCRM forum, I had a short exchange with Lobo about the two primary improvements we're looking at:
Sometimes I get frustrated with CiviCRM. For all the great features there are problems / limitations that we seem to keep hitting. So, if lots of people want the same things added / fixed why aren’t they being fixed?
With the rise of importance of social networks, and the sheer number of them, there has been development of a number of "listening" tools, which aggregate people's activities/fans/followers/friends and try to produce useful information about what is going on.

Update: Due to an unfortunate error multilingual sites cannot be upgraded to CiviCRM 3.2.2; if you’re running such site please wait for CiviCRM 3.2.3. Single-language sites (regardless of the language they use) should upgrade to CiviCRM 3.2.2 cleanly, and new CiviCRM 3.2.2 installations (both single- and multilingual) should work without a problem.
CivicActions is offering a full day CiviCRM User Training in Seattle and in Berkeley.
After what seems to be an incredibly long time, we released CiviCRM v3.2 a few weeks ago to good reviews and not too many critical bug reports :). Now that is out of the way, we are starting to plan the feature set for v3.3
We've been fortunate to get a grant from Open Society Institute to help add some features important for Human Right Organizations, specifically for Front Line. We've been working with Front Line for a few years and this grant allows us to target their needs more effectively. Some of the features that are included in this grant are:
Extending Address inheritance from Organization to an Individual (or from any contact to any other contact - TBD).
Building Advanced Reports and Dashlets for Human Rights Organizations
First version of Logging
