I'd like to find Co-Founder(s) / Developers | cryptnoob: I'm uncertain how appropriate it is for this to be news related.

So what do you guys think of DotNetNuke? | weaksauce: I think the appropriate question to ask before talking about the technical merits of various platforms is:1.

Why are they contemplating ... |

I'd like to find Co-Founder(s) / Developers | robryan: It is refreshing to see someone post their idea outright at the earliest stage. Most people would be far to worried that their idea would be ripped off by someone before they have started which would rarely ever be the case. |

So what do you guys think of DotNetNuke? | ttrashh: I'm a .Net developer and this is based on light work with it a couple years ago so...It wasn't great.

Interesting (Non software) books? | samratjp: Einstein's Dreams. Written by a physicist. A great fiction on the nature of how time could be.

Hacking Learning Resources? | jonsen: Isn't it somewhat paradoxically, that a teacher should ask for hack-how-to-learn recommendations?!No offense meant. Just struck me.
