hello everyone, my company is debating swithcing our website to DNN, but they're concerned that dnn won't be supported years from now. Can anyone please help me with some examples supporting the longevity of dotnetnuke?

The size of the community is the biggest indicator of long term life of the project.

It depends also what you're comparing to, but being open source there is always the option of fixing the bugs yourself!

You can also get the source code for the DNN core and all its modules, that way you can support it yourself forever, regardless of what happens to the "official" core team effort. And this is actually good from the point of view of the management, since programmers tend to change jobs. With the support community available for DNN a new programmer can take over fairly quickly. And what are your alternatives anyway, custom code, a commercial product??? These options have their disadvantages too. The key here is that with DNN you have the code for a very robust infrastructure that you can customize and extend to your heart's content.

Microsoft is backing up this project. (great publicity for their .net platform)

Already adopted by a lot of individuals and companies.  That's a lot of people who don't want to see DNN die and will make everything in their power to not let it die.

A lot of little companies are starting to make money with DNN by creating modules or hosting DNN sites.  Those people will support the longevity of DNN, even if that involves spending money (look at the benefactor program).

Their might be other signs supporting the longevity of dnn, but I think just those three points should convince you and your company.

I work at the University of Ottawa, and we decided to go forward with dnn because of these points.  Some other faculties are also thinking of using dnn.  We might be wrong, but I've been involved with dnn for the last year, and it seems like a pretty healty community that's not about to die.
