Cambrian (DNN 5.0) Beta 6 Out Now
Last Sunday, beta 6 of DotNetNuke Cambrian has been made available to a larger group than previous betas including DNN Marketplace vendors and project sponsors. According to DNN Corp, this release includes a number of significant bug fixes and provides a first glimpse at the enhanced skinning engine together with the initial release of a new default skin. I’ve just installed beta 6 and will share first impressions next week. Here are other noteworthy tidbits from around the DNN world.
- Speaking of DNN 5, Nina Meiers has blogged extensively about beta 5 in a 3 part series covering host settings, extensions, and the new skin uploader. Never shy of words, Nina does a good job of filling the usual documentation void left by DNN Corp.
- Cuong Dang launched dnnGallery “with the goal to create a one-stop resource for all business, designers, developers, and DotNetNuke experts to showcase their work.” Currently the site features mostly Cuong’s own creations, but over time it will hopefully grow into a rich collection of “DNN art.”
- Out of the same Engage camp comes Chris Hammond who officially launched DotNetNukeBlogs.com, which acts as an aggregator of DNN related blogs from around the Web. Assuming that Chris can convince relevant bloggers to sign on, the site has great potential to grow into a valuable resource especially for DNN newcomers.
- With the support of resident skinner and developer Vasilis Terzopoulos, MitchelSellers.com entered the month of July with an attractive new skin … it was about time Mitch :)-
Mitchel also announced a book deal he recently signed with Wrox, a division of Wiley Publishing, Inc. Professional DotNetNuke 5 Module Development is anticipated to hit shelves at the end of 2008. Congratulations!
- The start of the summer also brought a few new DNN Project releases including Wiki, UDT, Repository, and Events. Get them here.
- AliCommerce announced the highly anticipated 2.0 release of its ecommerce module suite. I’ll publish a detailed review of the module later this month.
