Congrats to the DotNetNuke team who released version 3 of their open source portal framework. I know many sites have have been built with DNN2, and I'm sure this release will have continued success.

Downloaded the source, changed the project type (I'm not sure I'll ever work with another web project), and built first try. A little surprised to see 51 projects, but that speaks to how modular this version is. A quick glance through the code shows some assemblies that have no more then 50 lines of code. I'm intriguing to say the least.

After building, I simply had to setup my virtual directory, provide valid db credentials in the config file, then browse to the site, and the installation was complete. Within a few minutes I was sampling some of the many skins that come in the box. I haven't had a chance to review the built in modules yet, but I also noticed theres already quite a few other modules released here.

I definitely plan to spend a bit more time with this release of DotNetNuke.
