The Spirit of Open Source Collaboration: Breaking Down Community Silos

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, the ethos of open source has been a driving force behind innovation and progress. Open source is more than just a way of developing software; it's a philosophy that champions collaboration, transparency, and community-driven development. However, as vibrant and diverse as these communities are, there's an emerging challenge that we must address: the formation of community silos.

DNN Community Forums 8.0 Released

It's been a little while since the last release of the DNN Community Forums module. If you're not already aware, this module is the same forums module we use on this website. So, we continually base the updates needed on our real-world, actual needs. This release brings with it all kinds of updates, and I'll attempt to summarize the most important things below.

Upendo Prompt Helps You Demo & Test in Your DNN Websites!

For a long time now, I've been meaning to put this update into Upendo Prompt. I need to create users all of the time for various types of demos and other kinds of show-and-tell moments. Isn't it a bit of a time waste and embarrassing/annoying to have to come up with user accounts on the fly? Worse, if people are watching it live too. This update will save you a TON of time!

Community Forums Version 7.0 Release Candidate

The DNN Community Forums module has been chugging along for a while now, and so it's about time for a release. This release brings with it what I estimate to be over 100 hours of work across at least 4 people. Numerous things have been fixed, but we need your help before we can make this release official.
