Dave,

I have been following the DNN story for a few months and was waiting for 3.0 to go RC before publishing a site. I will be migrating my golf database system (http://www.silverribbon.com/cgi-bin/show_ladder.pl">http://www.silverribbon.com/cgi-bin/show_ladder.pl) that is my sample application for new technology. I am a mangler now and don't get to code much at the office!

Your talk at code camp got be pumped about adding blogging to the site and becoming a more active part of the community. So, with blogging/forum modules added to DNN 3.0, I thought we were good to go...

But now CS comes into the picture and throws a wrench in the plans.

Are you leaving DNN behind and going to a pure CS framework.
I have heard that CS and DNN will be integrated in the future- so do you see your CS work being able to work back into DNN later as well.

Regards, Jim

Hey, Jim!  The answer is "yes."  I know for sure that I am getting rid of DNN for now to employ a pure CS framework, as you said.  I really don't use DNN at my site other than for user management and I want to get rid of the overhead, using CS for user management instead.  

I like DNN.  I deployed it at HQ and developed some modules for it, which was pretty cool, so I'm looking forward to checking out DNN 3.

As for integrating DNN 3 with CS, I wait until the boys at Telligent come up with an integrated package.  There's a good bit of overlap and ugliness in a DNN-CS union, so I'll proceed with straight CS fun while they handle the plumbing details.

Keep me posted.  Always good to hear from you.

Good to see that you are still very active with your blog and the development. I wish I had the time for mine . I was thinking to move too CS myself, but time doesnt allow with me. BTW: Are you going to be on the devteach this year?

I'm not decided either, to tell you the truth.  I just learned today that my wife and little girl will be out of town for that weekend, so I have the rare opportunity to geek-around-the-clock.  That's a pretty precious thing, even worth giving up DevTeach for...

Well, then there is only one thing left to say:

"May the coding begin" ;)
