I got an email in my in-box pointing me to a blog telling me all about how the next version of DotNetNuke was going to be in c# so I thought I'd download the source and see if by some minor miracle they had decided to adopt coding standards only to be disappointed. To let my thoughts be known to DNN I posted a comment on the blog of Joe Brinkman who seems to be up to his neck in it here... http://blog.theaccidentalgeek.com/post/2011/03/17/DotNetNuke-e2809cHadrone2809d-600-Community-Technology-Preview.aspx[^] My comment: (can't remember exactly word for word what I wrote but it was very similar to this.) "I've just downloaded the source code and I have to say I'm disappointed. Not an xml comment in sight! We as developers expect more, much more from a product that claims to be the best. You have to adopt a much higher coding standard if you are to remain at the top. How can you reasonable expect developers to work with the api?" Reasonable enough eh? Funny enough,...One hour later. The comment was deleted. Are they really that out of touch with the development world that they think this kind of behaviour is acceptable?

DotNetPuke is crap. It's so overgrown with "features" (and the already cited lack of anything resembling comments) that it's impossible to make any modifications without bring the whole house of cards down on your head. They really do need to start over...

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997I have to agree. At work we've unfortunately had to dig around it for months now. Most of what we have done when communicating with it has been pure guesswork. And as far as trying to optimize the junk html that gets thrown onto the page. Don't get me started!

It's not like I have never seen that before. Let the fanboys sing their sermons and sweep anything remotely critical under the rug.
