Its CTP 3  (1035)

Hi,

Just downloaded and installed CTP 3.0.

Been around since the early days and I've always been flexible/happy with what the core introduces version by version.

However, in a light-hearted kind of way I'm going to stand up for all of us, including the Corp. :-)

Here's my two cents.

1). Stop "playing" with UI at the moment and focus on delivering version 6.0 as a stable C Sharp version. Your previews are scaring me - not exciting me!

2). The implementation of new UI on the CTP is so pore it's not even alpha quality. In it's present state it should not be seen outside DNN Corp. Play indoors!

3). The admin forms need reconstruction before you "just" wrap them in a Telerik / jQuery UI popup. you need to rethink them. In fact as they stand they should never see the light of day as popups!

4). If you really want to make an impact with UI, stop and reflect further. Take the time to get it right. It can wait until 6.0.1 or later, even if financial hawks try to dictate otherwise!


DotNetNuke is on the cusp of great things with the anticipated C Sharp release of 6.0. We've even moved all our development over to C Sharp to embrace the big move. I love you guys for pushing the boat and moving mountains.

On this occasion it reminds me of watching the xFactor when someone actually thinks they can sing and when in fact they end up humiliating themselves in front of a world wide audience!
