The traffic to the FanGap network keeps increasing and yet DNN just hums away without any issues.

Sometimes in the online world when approaching a project people seem to classify the issues facing a website as a technology issue. It's as if building a web site is this mysterious thing wrapped in so much technology it's just too much handle. Just sitting in the office of a technology provider gets nerve wracking; hearing all the techno geeks spitting out acronym after acronym and having no idea what any of it means - html, Ajax, XML, HTTP, Java, ASP, .NET, Web services, Web 2.0, what all does it mean?!

Many of you know that my claim to fame is being one of the developers of DotNetNuke and writing two Wrox books on DNN. The question is, where does DNN come into play in our Microsoft practice? Another question is where is the relation to MOSS?

MOSS is marketed by many as a portal for the enterprise, providing collaboration, applications, content management, document searching, and other tools. The question though is what is MOSS? Is it a portal, and what exactly is a portal? Why are we seeing a big push by Microsoft for MOSS? At every meeting with Microsoft they say “MOSS!” and with that they say so few get what MOSS actually is.
