I would be interested. I have worked on a news management system myself. It is not as highly developed as yours, but it does some interesting things.
1. Checks html for basic errors.
2. Automatically creates headline w/ abstract and a top story w/ longer abstract which may include a photo from almost any html you throw at it. I have restarted rewriting the code, albeit in C#, but I am willing to work in VB.NET and I need to really dig into DNN since I began work with people using it. I also have a management system for advertising to integrate with it. The original is in VB.NET and the code is over year old.
If you would like to see a "very" rough sketch, you may go here: http://www.netsolutionsxp.com. I have had so very little time to work on it, but a good news management / publishing system is "for certain a passion of mine". The site "is" in VB.NET, but I can code so much better these days and definitely need to do some rewriting before I send you that code. I just started a new job, and I really need to get deep into DNN. I will need a month to become acclamated with my work, but I am certain becoming involved would be mutually benefical, and committing my spare time would improve my ability to contribute at work.
I have been looking for an opportunity like this.
Thank you,
