Sorry to all that have been awaiting the latest release of the DotNetNuke CardSpace module. I've been offline for close to a month now as I have had a baby, and it turns out that she has got Cystic Fibrosis.

It has been a big shock to my wife and I, however we're getting through it and learning how to deal with it. It is heartbreaking to have to give a baby disgusting drugs and to perform pysiotherapy on her as she cries at the top of her lungs.

I've started working on the module again. I've also signed the paperwork to donate the module to the DotNetNuke Core, so in the coming months you'll see the module come in every installation of DotNetNuke.

DotNetNuke has recently appointed a new Team Leader for the Active Directory Authentication Provider project. CardSpace is coming on board soon. Also, there are conversations about OpenID and a more generic LDAP provider.

This increase in DotNetNuke's authentication abilities will improve DNN's user experience. As there are all these different methods, the DotNetNuke team are currently overhauling the interfaces between the DotNetNuke Core and the Authentication Providers. This work will take some time.

To all those that have requested a copy of the module, please be patient, I'll have something that you can use quite soon. This will be in the case that the DotNetNuke Team do not wish me to withhold it.
