Community Starter Kit Transmorgifies

I just wanted to take a moment and say that the CSK is now transmorgifying to a new product called the GotCommunityNet Web App (GCN for short).  You can find it on the web at http://www.gotcommunitynet.com .   Source code (C# based), news and more can be found at http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=39959859-68b5-4f5e-bd85-c1a8555e39a9

Now that a lot of the bugs are ironed out we are looking at the following:

• Integrating the Microsoft Application Blocks (Data and Exception Reporting)
• Adding more security integration options
• Splitting the core code base into smaller, more logical assemblies - adding benefits to the GCN like:
  • Faster execution time (probably not a ton but it is an improvement)
  • Creating new Modules will be truly modular
    • Can be created in any .NET language
    • Is created from a GCN Module Template (which can hopefully be added to VS.NET)
    • Is “standalone“ so you can just drop it into the directory structure without recompiling the entire app
    • Is self-describing, admin module will have a discovery function to find all new modules and it should load the appropriate SQL during this discovery action
• R&D on how Whidbey will affect the current architecture

So, as you see, there are many BIG plans for the GCN.
