Microsoft ILogger Transition Issue Started By Cody https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform/issues/3161 According to Andrew on 'Issues Ready for Development' in Github link above we need to add support for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging and deprecate to remove current log4net Ilog in DNN 9. They need to co-exist for version 10 to allow removing for version 11. Is anyone currently working on this Seems like a top priority right now for an upcoming release.

ASP.NET Core Blazor Started By Cody I am reading a new to me article that seems interesting. I know the DNN community is working hard to support with the few talented engineers working hard to take all the steps with care moving DNN into NET Core 2 version first which would immediately need to be upgraded to 3.1 version or later by that time to have C Blazor support. But it feels by the time DNN Next is on deck we will be able to start researching how to utilize Blazor instead of JS for a very enhanced and secure UI. Write C...	9	8244	2	2/13/2020 3:03 PM by Cody
RFC: HTTP/2 Support Started By Cody RFC: HTTP/2 Support on Github issue 2587 We have had a good discussion on utilizing HTTP/2 as Brian Dukes pointed out in this issue above. It sounds very 'promising' that we can make adjustments to the platform for version 10. I feel we are a little behind schedule here which is expected and no big deal. This is one of 3 current issues on Github I believe a focus should be made to get these ready for that next step. Is there going to be any new thought process towards what we will be...	2	2511	0	2/19/2020 11:20 AM by Cody
Add Dependency Injection to HTTP Handlers Github Issue 3134 Started By Cody Add Dependency Injection to HTTP Handlers Github Issue 3134 There is a huge discussion here about adding Dependency Injection to HTTP Handlers. Feels like this is one of the next steps to be pushed in version 10. I look forward to hearing more about this topic from discussions at the meetings. Is there anything holding this back such as concerns other than developing a working solution		3275	0	2/19/2020 11:26 AM by Cody
DNN Next Future Proof Module Preparations Started By Cody I am looking for any suggestions regarding future proofing any new development efforts to work with DNN Next and .NET Core. This is what I currently understand and please correct me where needed. I am hoping to help other future module developers with this thread that might be interested in the same thing. Web Forms is going away HTML5 CSS3 and JS (probably most preffered) Razor Pages is an option MVC Modules using SPA (most future proof approach) We can currently develop th...	2	2763	1	2/8/2020 12:37 PM by Cody
Importance of .NetCore Started By KenT This is more of an executive point of view. Short term having DNN on .NetCore would be usefull, if only for answering those sales questions about do you truly use Open Source architecture. Medium/long term having .NetCore makes it truly portable and more valuable to ourselves as a strategic architecture. Its less of a hostage to fortune whoch protects all of our efforts. I would propose that without .NetCore, DNN will slowly be devalued as other code schemes and architectures that curre...	1	2246	1	12/9/2019 11:08 AM by KenT
How can DNN Next improve ability harness the power of HTTP/2 Started By Cody I am curious about how DNN and HTTP/2 work together. It feels like there should be a huge performance boost connecting to outside resources. I am not sure if current versions of DNN will work the same as .NET Core or if core will provide even more crucial app performance that can use .NET Core. What in DNN Next utilizing HTTP/2 that will be harnessed to help app loading times that has yet to be put to use and is a big part of the future I just feel like every module should be HTTP/2 pushe...	3	3402	2	9/28/2019 3:37 PM by Cody
