DotNetNuke Corporation is proud to announce the establishment of the DotNetNuke Forge, a premier destination for open source collaboration on the DotNetNuke® platform. Providing unparalled access to community developed and maintained platform extensions such as Modules, Skins, and Providers, the DotNetNuke® Forge further cultivates the rich developer ecosystem through its highly accessible project directory and robust project management tools.

DotNetNuke Corporation is proud to partner with Microsoft’s CodePlex to provide access to a world class infrastructure for managing open source projects. CodePlex offers advanced tools including a robust source code repository based on Microsoft Team Foundation Server, issue tracking, discussions forums, project team management, and free hosting services for project downloads.

I expect to see an explosion of innovative new features developed and released by the community in 2008.”

The DotNetNuke Forge is facilitated and managed by DotNetNuke Corporation, maintaining a highly professional, intuitively organized, and easily accessible project directory.

Windows Server 2008 builds on the success and strengths of its Windows Server predecessors while delivering valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the base operating system including support for IIS 7.0, a web server for developing and reliably hosting enterprise applications and services.
