Some DotNetNuke Questions

I'm hopefull that somebody reading this will be knowledgable about DotNetNuke (DNN). My local user group site has recently upgraded to DNN and I'm able to admin said site. I've been trying to figure out how to configure an RSS feed of our annoucements, events and from our forums. I've not had much luck Googling on this. So...

Does DNN offer such a facility and I'm just not seeing it?

  • If yes, where should I look for it?
  • If no, will it be in the next verison?
  • If no and not in next version, I can write my own. Is there documentation of the database schema around anyplace?

I'm pretty impressed with DNN, now, wow me with your community support! (grin)

Dates for Whidbey, Yukon slip. SO WHAT!

Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here but if I see one more post whining about how awful it is that Whidbey and Yukon have "slipped" I'm going to really lose it. Relax. Focus. Visualize. Continue..

Or as Janell might say... Next!

What got into to me?

UGH!

First off, it was a maybe at best that they get this bits out the door in Q4-2004. I've been saying Q1-05 for months. Fine - its Q2-05 now. I'd rather have better bits late than bad bits early in an RTM. I suspect that as customers and stakeholders, we'd agree that MS is doing the right thing by taking the time to put the best product they can. And, after all, we should already know to add at least a quarter to what initial dates we hear about a product date from any company.

I am happy we got and will continue to get alpha and beta bits early and more often. I'm all for giving as much runway to developers on new technologies we have to fly as developers. I wish they'd do the same with services packs and hotfixes, too.

Don't let this puesdo-FUD make you doubt the need to learn Yukon, Whidbey and Longhorn now. There's a lot of stuff available that you can start with now so you can be ready to roll at RTM.
