Hi Jamie, 

I appreciate the thanks and I understand that initial glance it may seem the project has been 'ignored'. However, if you were to look over the source code changes in the project you would see that myself and Peter Donker have spent a significant amount of time on 5.0 not only updating for the social features but also fixing the biggest bugs and deficiencies defined by the community (via voting on CodePlex). While the release notes only specify 14 or so issues as being addressed in 5.0, the real number is closer to 50 (I cleaned out the bug tracker to get it down to the count you see today). No modules available on CodePlex today have ever been run by DNN Corporation. Even my time on the Forum (almost all before I joined the company) and the blog module (done on my own free time) were not 'corporate' sponsored. The same goes for others on this very project (Peter Donker and Matthias Schlomann; who are not employees) as well as any other members of any projects on CodePlex (Wiki, Media, etc.) which have various combinations of employees and volunteers who only work on these in their free time (not all projects have a DNN Corp employee either). 

So, the current process today (management of the modules) is how it always has been since even before the company existed. Peter and I have agreed that we will continue to address issues for this specific project and eventually we will release a 5.0.1 (we have even been doing some intermediate builds exposing the changes immediately and making those available for download). 

To close this off, while I am a DNN Corp employee I am by no means making any official statement but the corporation does not schedule, prioritize and address community raised issues via CodePlex projects., I have passed information (bugs) received via support tickets (professional customers) to the various project leads who have fixed them when they were available to do so but even those bugs, prioritization of items and scheduling were all done by the volunteer leads of each project as they deemed fit.
