Ok maybe I'm old, out of touch, but what does the term dogfood or dogfooding mean.

In Shaun Walker's blog about "DotNetNuke 3.3 / 4.1 Release Status" a question was asked by nigam: "will www.dotnetnuke.com be dogfooding on 3.3 now or will it go 4.1 way ?"

And then Shaun replied: "The plan is to dogfood dotnetnuke.com on version 4.1.0 ( ASP.NET 2.0 )."

Please give me some plain english.

Thanks

Dogfooding means to run your own new stuff on your own production systems before it is released to public.

It's an industry term - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogfooding

In our case it means that we update dotnetnuke.com with the proposed release version. This allows us to see if it handles the additional load, and interacts correctly with all the modules. If there are no problems after a few days, then we release it, otherwise we fix the issues and then try again. Typically the community notices when we dogfood quite quickly (the version number if in the title on the homepage), and expects the release to be out in a few days
