Twice this week I've had a question from someone higher in the payscale than myself, wondering why we are using software that seems to be broken.  I have no idea why they chose this week to look at what we're using, budgets maybe, but it's embarassing explaining that the main software web site is testing the newest version and that we're on an older, stable release.

At minimum, I would like to see a "warning" message placed on the homepage and/or the under construction page that notes that testing is going on.

I have ended up going with a custom ASP.NET solution for a client, due to the perceived instability of the platform due to the site.

Last week I was in the position of justifying the use of DNN for a major project for a client (through a consultant they hired for another purpose).  About an hour after sending a fairly comprehensive e-mail touting the benefits of DNN - I went to the site and it was down pretty well all day.  Embarrassing is one word that comes to mind (there are others I can think of but won't repeat since I'd like this post to remain on-line....  I didn't hear back from them that day so I'm hoping they didn't try to access the site.  I'm sure I would have heard about it if they did..

So I second the motion to please keep the DNN site up and running and not broken.  Besides it can't be good for PE sales when the site is up and down like a yo-yo.

Every site, regardless of software, has traffic patterns that are relevant to the specific business.  Part of this week I have spent tracking down issues that are specific to our own traffic patterns, which include malicious intent.  By way of example, we experienced an outage yesterday due to what amounts to a DOS attack on our SQL server.  This in turn stole CPU from SQL, increased load on our network monitoring tools capturing the event and resulted in starving the DNN site.  The problem has been remedied.

The silver lining in this story is that we eat our own cooking (aka "dogfooding").  Our skin is in the game. We use what we publish, in fact we push it to its limits (and beyond) and subject it to real world issues most customers will never face.  Don't misinterpret this as making an excuse, I will be the first to agree with you in terms of ensuring that these issues are permanently resolved and not customer facing, but there is also a powerful message here whereupon we do not use customized or proprietary magic to serve our interests.  We will resolve even the hardest, most difficult issues so that customers will not have to.

The overwhelming majority of issues being seen lately are a function of dotnetnuke.com's specific profile and traffic patterns.

Thank you for the encouragement... we hear you and support your sentiment.

Yet another reason why I think the DNN community needs it's own portal.

I have thought a DNN community portal, where the DNN community actually has a say in content and procedures, would be a good idea for some time now.

In addition to many other benefits, new DNN releases could be dogfooded on the community site instead of the Corp. site. Corp site could stay on a stable release, not be overloaded with users since most of the traffic on DNN.com is because of forums, and everyone would have a stable corp site to point clients to. Heck, the corp site might even be able to offer a DNN demo portal that is actually online and works. They have at least gotten the demo to produce a portal and a home page but the auto generated admin/host logins don't work.

A corp site that is offline, demo's that don't work, forums busted, forums filled with threads of community members bitching about this or that =  PE marketing nightmare.
