I agree with Steven that a little update would be nice. Last week Will mentioned that the migration tool would be out shortly after 6.2.1, which he suggested would be out this week. So I guess either 6.2.1 has been delayed or will be out today or tomorrow. Then the migration tool would be out early next week. Just guessing though.

Will,
I have to say I'm becoming extremely frustrated with your [lack of] responses to questions or follow ups from users. You specially asked many of us (long time active social users) to participate in the customer focus group. We all did and provided valuable feedback and ideas along the way using the forum you specifically asked us to use.

Initially responses were quick and accurate. After 6.2 launched responses dropped dramatically. Now you are basically saying , oh, your posting in the wrong place and you should really be checking my code check ins on codeplex to get a status update on when the forum will release.

Are you kidding me?

Stop making us all guess and hunt and peck through forums, the exchange, codeplex and activemodules.com to try and read the tea leaves as to what to expect in the product

Please consider that not all of us know what you are up to. You don't communicate often (if at all) and challenge anyone who asks for a follow up on things you have committed to on phone calls, in blog posts or in the forum.

DNN Corp already has a CorpComm issue, and when the Director of Product Management treats long time, loyal customers like this it doesn't help. I think you know I'm a VERY patient guy and I don't get frustrated easily, but you need to realize you are doing damage here to people who practically have a DNN tattoo.

So, I've posted in the Q & A module now (I tried previously but it would not work before). I look forward to timely and accurate responses from you or the DNN team. BTW - I did check your profile for answers in the exchange for some of the very specific questions posted here, but didn't see any...also the link from profile answers doesn't seem to work.

I would also recommend if you or the product team have no intention of using the focus group forum anymore you lock it and pin a post directing us to use the community exchange. There has also been a request to setup a Social and Forum section in the DNN forums for questions about these modules. you may also consider shuttering activemodules.com as at this point it seems to just confuse new users and is just one more place for us long time users to try and find scraps of information that might help us read your mind.

Again, as I've said in this thread (and for years on activemodules.com). A little communication goes a LONG way. Bad news is fine (e.g. we're not porting message) but information like that is key to development and migration planning, timelines, roadmaps and budgets. Please understand and respect that on the other end of your development roadmap (the one we can't seem to see) there are teams and people and departments who have users and goals and budgets that depend on knowing what to expect from DNN.

Respectfully,
A very frustrated long time user....
