I think your Crystal ball is off.  If the next RC is weeks away we are looking at Dec for final considering testing, etc. If it happens on 11-11 then I will be coming to you for stock tips though.  I will throw out 12-12 as my "crystal ball" guess.

I understand the problem the DNN Developers are facing. But DNN 5 is offering significant changes so anyone who is developing skins and modules or have existing modules need to test it before deploying to production. Why not make the current RC1 public for testing and feedbacks and tell all users this is just a beta version or something and is not ready for production websites.

I have three new ideas for website and have been waiting on DNN 5. Looking at the new features in DNN 5 I have been  for months now. I am not frustrated as DNN is free but dying to get my hands on the current one. Is there any way we can get this current RC1. As I am going to create new sites with it security is not a concern for me at this time.

Keep up the great work DNN Developers. We all appreciate your hard work.
