Isn’t this what DotNetKicks and SharePointKicks is all about?

Thanks JMP and KLG for comment.

Though my primary objective is to create a .NET community portal, there are many other secondary objectives I have for creating this portal.

1. My first secondary objective is to learn and experience end-to-end Web 2.0 product development. This application was opportunity for me to learn all technical and business aspect of Web 2.0 product development.

2. On technical front, I also wanted to utilize code generation approach to develop ASP.NET/SQL Server application. All of the business objects, façade layer, business service, and data providers for this portal are actually generated using .netTiers application framework using CodeSmith tools.

I recommend every ASP.NET developers to use this code generation framework for their ASP.NET application. This will cut your development effort by 80 percent (from my experience).

3. I also wanted to learn creating aesthetic UI for web application. In my all previous project experience, I usually involved in technical aspect and I didn’t able to concentrate on usability and interface design.

4. My another initial objective was to learn XHTML/CSS (I sucks in working with DIV). But later I drop this objective as I wanted to launch this application ASAP. And that’s why; you can see all of the control placements are done using TABLE/TR/TD. It’s not that I don’t know XHTML, but it’s difficult for a person who worked with TABLE/TR/TD kind of control placement for last 8 years. Look like; I have to come up with another Web 2.0 product to learn XHTML/CSS.

Currently it’s closed source application.

What are your thoughts on releasing it open-source?
