I'd like to make a proposal. 

When the source for this open source project is finally released, wouldn't it be nice if the community had access to all the latest source? 
It's bad enough that we have to wait on official releases to even see the latest source. So when we get the latest release and it has bugs, how can we fix them if all we have is binaries for referenced projects?

The WebControls project for the last two releases has not been updated, but the core project references newer builds on each one (good job getting a release build in the last release).

The FCK Editor provider has had several changes, but the latest project source is dated 11/27/2006.

My proposal is this:

Please make the build process include the building of all referenced source in the project that has been changed.  
Include all of the latest source in the source package of the core release.

If that is too hard to manage then please provide read access to all of the source at any time like most other open source projects.

Then again, maybe I am missing the boat.  Have all the developers that actually compile the source from this project gone away?

Thanks for looking into it Joe.

As for the subject line.  I have a question and I thought that subject line may get the attention of the people who might also have an opinion on the subject so we could chat about it.

I am really interested in knowing how many developers actually compile the source and work with it as compared to the number of people that just use DotNetNuke by installing it (or letting their host install it) and waiting for the next release.

If you find it inflammatory, then I apologize.

John,

  I have raised the issue internally and we will push to get it fixed.  One thing to keep in mind is that we do try to allow projects to be somewhat autonomous, even if it may not always seem that way, so I can't really demand Jon or Mauricio post the latest versions but I am sure that this is just an oversight and will be quickly remedied.
