DNN Project Release Tracker Now Public

It is Tuesday again and due to my current consulting workload I am not able to keep up with my blog as I should. Not good, not good at all, but then again ... I gotta get the bills paid. Let's see what other members of the greater DNN community have been up to.

A few new language packs are out for DNN 4.5.3. En-GB by Ismet Dumlupinar and three different German flavors by Sebastian Leupold.
Core team member Steve Fabian writes about the Release Tracker module, which is now available for public viewing on dotnetnuke.com.
Andreas Di Palma of Xepient Solutions announces a beta of OpenDocumentLibrary v2.0, a document management module. I've read about issues with the Speerio File Manager lately, so this module hopefully grows into a healthy alternative.
Mitchel puts together a neat free module he calls "Text/HTML Deniable." Based on the core text/html module, "it allows you to set a "Deny" role to prohibit module viewing."
Two new core module releases this week: Blog 03.03.00 and Repository 3.01.12.
Ed DeGagne of South Village Software releases SVS Google™ Analytics, a free module which helps with the setup of Google Analytics on your website. I prefer to just paste the Google code snippet into default.aspx though.
Even if you are more of a Windows fan, you've seen the fancy toolbar at the bottom of the screen on Mac OS X, right? Now you can build that right into your DNN skin with the DNN Dock Menu by Inspector IT.
Stuck on an old version of DNN? Will Morgenweck argues there is no reason to.
And to wrap things up for this week, Scott Willhite recommends to always read your license.

RE: GoogleAnalytics

While I agree that it is easy to just paste your tracking script in default.aspx (or even in an html module), it leaves little to no flexibility at all.

With the new version of my module, you can prevent the tracking script from appearing on a security role basis and also shut it off for a specific localhost name. SuperUser's are automatically excluded from the script insertion as well.

So that essentially means you could exclude all admin / host activity from your Google Analytics reports, correct?

That is correct.

Host (SuperUser) activity is excluded automatically, but I could make this an option if enough people want it.

But activity could be prevented by any role that is defined in your portal, including the Admin role.
