Echo that.  Please, please, please don't change DNN, no matter how much we whine about it needing to change.  There's a reason I'm using DNN instead of a commercial product.  There's a reason I don't use Joomla.  Or even Umbraco.  Or Community Server.  And I'm not sure I can put a finger on what that reason is.  I actually like Joomla and love both Umbraco and Community Server.  But not for what I use DNN for.  While there are parts of the others that I wish were in DNN or that DNN did better, as a whole DNN wins.  Even with the flaws.

And this thread has made me realize that I really do need to commit to giving back where I can.  As soon as I can find that piece that makes DNN better than if I had left it out, I'll do it.  Now, if only DNN needed the input of my mad Pinball skills...

Pretty insulting to some, I'm certain.  And I don't think you'd find too many businesses or corporations advertising their services in this manner.  It's even more odd considering that such a large portion of DNN's user base - and developer talent - resides outside the USA.

This again reminds me of one my wife's favourite sayings - "Kehre erst vor deiner eigenen Tür."  Translation: first sweep in front of your own door.  (She is a recent emigrant from Germany.)

Everybody is giving the DNN team suggestions as to how this project can grow, thrive, and expand.  Often, fingers get pointed in one direction, but certain finger-pointers continually refuse to look in the mirror themselves.  They promote their companies by saying "Don't use DotNetNuke," run confusing advertisements, include questionable ad copy (like above) in printings of international books based on DotNetNuke technology, spark security scares - the list goes on-and-on.  The DNN team addresses these issues in a public forum, but they go ignored. 

So Tony, you say PowerDNN has now re-factored how their management works... you have people in roles in your company who have decision-making abilities, and are responsible for getting things done.  I have a suggestion - if you can forward over the names and email contacts of these management people in your company, we can speak to these people directly about the issues that have been discussed in this forum.  So far, neither yourself nor John Grange have made these changes (perhaps there is a bottleneck somewhere.)  You have our contact info - we'll be interested to hear from you.
