Actually, this is what I think would be a good idea - all the modules are removed from the core website (no core branding etc. giving the impression to noobs and developers that the DNN Corp endorse/sponsor/developer/whatever any modules.

Then project teams apply to rejoin as official DNN modules - the only thing is though that they have to commit to some sort of standard with regards to response time or release cycles, even if it is only once a year - the point is that there must be SOME standard in place to be listed on this site. This will get rid of dead projects and not confuse people that they actually are being worked on.

These dead projects can be put on codeplex or the forge and whoever wants to work on them can...   (it's the fact that they on this site that confuses a lot of people - back to the Maps module example - you can go to that forum now and see my posts over the course of 2 years and how I eventually got so frustrated with no reply I left and bought one - how many other people do this).

Chirs, once again, thank you for your knowledge, I couldn't ask for a better response.

I have a couple of items that I have been working with.

For one, I am still using the Annoucements module as a kind of .PLAN update, and for some reason, which I am not too happy with, the RSS module seems to be working now, at least in some form.  This might be, as you said, due to the search indexing of the core system which is tied to the RSS updates.  Even if that is so, I am not sure I really care for a intermittent solution.  Some where with in this form I saw a post that gave instructions on how to clear some tables with the SQL core tool, and I think that might have been what was causing the system to not update at all.

I also spent a few hours trying to play around with the form and list module, which I am not going to go in to depth here about.  I will keep that to the modules forum.  Though I might come back here and post updates if they are related to my main issue.

You gave me some great insight on how DNN is structured.  I was under the impression that all the team projects / DNN modules were part of the core rather than true modules themselves.  So, modifying the Annoucements module may still be an option.
