DNN 9 and the Future of the DNN Platform

Two years ago, we began a discussion in the community about how to move the DNN platform forward. Microsoft was hard at work on ASP.Net vNext, which was later renamed to ASP.Net Core. At the time, I made the case for DNN making a radical departure from the Web Forms architecture that is the foundation of DNN today. That new platform, DNN neXt, would have been built on .Net Core and would have benefited from much of the work the ASP.Net team was doing to modernize and cleanup .Net.

DNN Completes the Move to GitHub

Open Source project hosting has seen many changes in the last 15 years. When DNN first started, we had few options for hosting our source code and packaged releases. We have been around long enough to see sites like GotDotNet, Google Code and others come and go. Finding a reliable project host is an ongoing challenge. Even after you find a host, you need to be vigilant to ensure the host continues to offer the features and support you need for your project and your community.
