I would venture a guess that maybe most general users are not .Net programmers, but the majority of people who use these forrum I think are .Net programmers.  There may be a few people who are not .NET programmers, but not nearly as many as you would need to support and idea like this.  Personally I like that its open source. 

Just my opinion

I like that it's Open Source too and am not proposing to change that.  I'm just trying to find a way to get faster support for interim issues that crop up with the core modules.  Maybe the standard DNN support plans will cover this.  I'll find out, but I really doubt even that will offer patches between module releases.

I understand about the software change management issues with interim patches that someone mentioned earlier.  I did spend 8 years as a programmer in the past, just not .NET.  However, when the dot releases are months apart and major errors are not being fixed, it makes it difficult to use the apps for production business sites.  I'm just trying to find a way to help the core module teams directly. 

AFAIK the DNN support plans do NOT have any affects on getting module releases sooner, or in a beta or pre-release fashion.

Re: Possible Controversial Idea 

 However, when the dot releases are months apart and major errors are not being fixed...

DNN does have a very rigerous release process, which does seem to delay minor releases.  However, if this process did not exist releases would be more frequent, but there would also be posts about how upgrades have compatability issues, regression problems, new bugs introduced, and so on.  Always those unintented consequences!

That comment aside, I think you have a good idea!
