I know that I am long overdue for this posting and I do apologize to the community, but I wanted to take this opportunity to lay out the roadmap for the next release of the Documents module.  The next release will be version 04.02.00 which we are currently hoping to provide to the release tracker no later than the end of the year as long as schedules permit.

Overall we have had great feedback on the current module, and the team is excited to get started on really adding items to this module, this release...

 A while back on my personal blog site, mitchelsellers.com I provided an update and even asked for a bit of community input regarding the content to be included in my soon to be released book "Professional DotNetNuke 5 Module Programming".  I have to first of all thank all members of the community that provided feedback and suggestions as to what you wanted to see covered in the book.  I took all comments very seriously and did my best to ensure that the book can tailor to the needs of the greatest common denominator.

After seeing this on Michael Washington's blog, I thought it would be interesting to put this out here as well, as a personal element to my blogging here on DotNetNuke.com

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has submitted their information with interest in joining the Documents module team.  At this time I believe I have enough individuals to fill the current needs of the team, stay tuned over the next week to two weeks and the new team members will be publicly announced.

It has been a while since I have taken over as team lead for the Documents Module project and I wanted to provide everyone in the community an update on the status of the module.
