I want to use some of the features in the 'Company Pulse App' that is provided as a template. Unfortunately it seems to be out of date and not finished.
The instructions say;

step 6. add 'shared news' doesnt work as there is no default list called this. Sharepoint news is typically created in SitePages

then I found this on the Loading timer OnEnd
//Begin Sample SharePoint list items"
ClearCollect(SharedNewsCollection,

//End Sample SharePoint list items
this just seems to be a sample collection that would not pull in the news from the instructions.
has anyone got this working?
