How it could be, and the realities of getting to that point are two different things.  It is one thing to complain about a missing or substandard feature.  It is a whole other thing to not offer a solution.  I could post links all day long to show open source projects that have less or no documentation.  But what good would that do?  This does not bring us any closer to a solution that meets the needs of those of us who agree that the documentation at DNN could be better.  Isn't this our goal?  What can be done to help the Core Team make the documentation better?

Will I agree showing sites that have less or no documentation is not a good idea to show where DNN Corp should reach to get to their goals.

However to show how it could and must be is. I am not sure DNN Corp have that insight yet. Hopefully I am wrong. I am happy to notice that your opinion have shifted from everething is good and google is fine to a more mature view of the documentation status.

The Knowledge Base mentioned in the Pro marketing literature refers to a technical capability within our professional support trouble ticket system. Basically when support tickets are entered by customers, the support technician will reformat the text where applicable and add it to the knowledge base so that other customers can review for self-help reasons.

We will also be launching a new service on dotnetnuke.com in the coming months which will allow for community contributions of articles, documentation, tips, videos, resources, etc... - much like a DNN-specific version of CodeProject or ASPAlliance. The goal here is to create rich knowledge base of DNN content.
 

The initiative was suggested a few years ago, but like many community initiatives, it never reached fruition because of a lack of available time from the volunteers who would be tasked with creating and managing it. Now that DNN Corp has been able to hire more full-time resources, we can begin to offer more community services which will benefit everyone.

 

Who posted this? "Host Account" with only 2 posts sounds suspecious. Use a real name please if this is coming from the corp.

Documentation is available in the pdf files, through forum posts and search, some external dnn sites and through some Wrox books. No one should claim they are lost when it comes to availability of documentation. It would be nice if there's an official wiki docs but the lack of it doesn't bother me.

Whenever I need real help, I just post a message. The forums are pretty active.

I assume, it is an administrative account, not intended for posting, which has been accidantly used. Unfortunately, you cannot disable posting permission for superuser accounts - maybe this is demonstration a viable use case for it.

My apologies, i was logged into the site with a Host account doing some administration on the Forge ( daily download totals are now visible for all Forge projects ) and I posted the response about the Community Documentation project.


My comments are my own and are offered WITHOUT PREJUDICE
