PP, "DotNetNuke" was rebranded about 18 months ago, when Marketing at DNN Corp. came to the Impression that the name was too technical.
So they came up with an impressive new name and the product is now called "DNN Platform".

Sebastian,

  The idea that having Nuke or DotNet in our product name might be offputing to some is not something that originated with DNN Corp. or our marketing team.  This has been an ongoing discussion for many years in the community as you well know.  And we have in fact used DNN (for which we filed a trademark application many years ago) interchangeably with DotNetNuke since we first rebranded from IBuySpy Workshop.

Premier Pup,

  Yes this is the right place.  If you have any questions about DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) then ask away and I'm sure someone from the community will be able to help.  It is a great community, although occasionally some of us get up on wrong side of the bed, so our answers are not always as welcoming as they could be :)

Joe,
thanks for the clarification . which in essence didn't contradict to my previous post, besides the origin of this decision, which has been taken by DNN Corp. exclusively (although it was obvious that there were parts of the wordwide community having difficulties with the name, probably from the first moment, when Shaun put this name on his "new baby"). However, I heared a number of people calling it replacing one evil with another, when of trashing a well known brand for an amotionally weak acronym. I strongly suggest to the community to finde a new, stronger name for the successor of the current product, which connotaes better emotional feelings and is able to stay in line with other successful product names like Agora Sunrise, Amiro, Aspire, Calimero, Chisimba, Cocuma, Dinamo, Drupal, Fido, Jasmine, Joomla, Kentico, Liferay, Litium, Mambo, Marvel, Mira, Niagara, Nimbus, Pagoda, Polaris, Qool, Rainbow, RedDot, Semplice, Silverstripe, Swifty, SiteCore, Ubi, Umbraco, Wild Apricot, Xooks. IMO the new product generation is the best chance to pick a better name, suitable worldwide.

Cheers from Germany,
