I have also been frustrated by the lack of feature lists for new DNN versions. While I can appreciate the improvement in Gemni and the hard work that went into it, my opinion, based only I what I know from reading the forums, is that the documentation issue is just another symtom of the real issue. I think the issue causing some of these symptoms is what appears to be a very tight knit/closely guarded open source project. Other symptoms would be the moderation of the forums, the remember me issue, and the limit on bloggers in the DNN blogs. I think that if DNN opened things up just a little more everyone would benefit. I think I can prove that point:

Anyone seen one of Brain's famous posts in awhile??  I haven't.  In fact I haven't seen one since the core decided to open up the beta testing to a small group of users...... I did notice that Brain became a benefactor though...... 

My point with regards to the feature lists - create a documentation project and let numerous volunteers write documentation for small sections of the core/projects. Maybe in the old days the documentation was used to generate revenue by selling the books (I bought one) but I think DNN is beyond that now.

While I'm at it, last but not least - could someone please PLEASE PLEASE get rid of the stupid coffee cup and replace it with a t-shirt in the items you get for becoming a benefactor????  Brian had his reasons - I'm holding out for the t-shirt!!!!!    In fact, I want to support DNN badly enough that I'll take the coffee cup (I can give it to somebody's Grandma) AND buy a t-shirt if you will just make one available. Whoever did the DNN logo did a great job - would be a cool t-shirt!
