Man what a shame, this comparison of community edition with the others...http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/ProfessionalEdition/EditionComparison/tabid/1250/Default.aspx

Hey, everyone wants normal documentation, content approval, granular permissions, file integrity checks, source code (open source?) and so on. Shouldn't that be standard to a CMS? Ok, I understand the costs of direct support when there are problems; for that reason you should pay.

Ow, if your're trying to buy a proffessional, they first want to know your CMS budget! The higher the budget the higer the price? How 'open' they started a few years ago... some pioneers hey.

I hope I'm not 'forced' to switch to another CSM system...

Am I overreacting?

Geert,

Professional Edition is same as Community Edition, but with some extra Goodies, i.e. Support, Manual, Modules and Providers.

Core Framework still is open source, Manual can be obtained from Snowcovered and for a number of extensions there are alternative modules and providers on codeplex or Snowcovered (e.g. EnhancedPermissionProvider by Oliver Hine or Effority Workflow module).

According to this comparison http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/ProfessionalEdition/EditionComparison/tabid/1250/Default.aspx, your statement "...Professional Edition is same as Community Edition..." does not seem to be quite true.  Item six in this comparison , "Granular Permissions", is something we already use heavily in the Community Edition but this chart seems to clearly say that capability will no longer be part of the Community Edition.  Or am I missing something here?

The Professional+ editions have "extended permissions to provide more granular security rights".

The permission system in the community edition is not having anything removed.

granular permissions include Add, Delete, Create, Export,.. permissions for pages, podules and folders in file manager. 

Regarding module permisisons you might run into a display width problem, if the module itself already adds a number of individual permissions.
