Perry,

>If I was a developer on my own, such as you, the thought that I could reproduce something similar in any tool wouldn't even cross my mind. There is now a very sizeable community built around Dotnetnuke. I don't think you realize what you would be getting yourself into if you promised to develop a DNN lookalive in AVP.

Gee, you really sell yourself short, Perry. :-)

Without the community support add-ons, DNN is beneath the surface basically a web portal framework with an extensible and customizable design. Are you saying that VFP developers could not create a similar web portal framework with an extensible and customizable design?

Sure, it might not have lots of add-ons at first, but Claude's point (I thought) was that creating the basic portal framework and hooks based on the same concepts would be an interesting project that might then be leveraged by the VFP community via add-ons.

I never got the idea that he was saying that he would single-handedly duplicate DNN *including* all the hundreds of add-ons.
