I had somebody ask me for specs on Twitter about the modules that I would like to see. I call this list the Micro Independent Software Vendor (mISV) pack.

I don't have the time to create something like this, but I do know that there is serious interest in having an integrated solution like I outline below.

Customer Licensing Center

• Gives the ability for customers to see what licenses they currently own
• Allows admins to import sales/licensing information from external license tracker systems.
• Allows admins to match imported customers to existing accounts, or create new ones.

License Dispenser for DNN Portal

• Allows admins to setup a license dispensing system, either custom or 3rd party liscening schemes.
• Allows admins to do online activation of their software.
• Integrates with gateways like FastSpring, Plimus, eBay, and Google Checkout.
• Integrates with customer licensing center.

Opt-In Email Marketing

• Allows admins to send reminders to customers for any expiring license subscriptions.

I think this can be already be done with DataSprings Opt In Email module.

Ticket/Case System

• Allows admins to integrate with their DotNetNuke portal
• Allows integration with their current version control system

There are many good stand-alone web products in this category, but I find it infuriating having to send customers to a separate web app. Heck, even a module that has the basic functions in DNN would be welcome. I created a prototype that would read tickets from JIRA. Unfortunately, I don't have the code anymore.

CRM System

• Allows admins to integrate with their DotNetNuke portal
• Allows integration with the ticket/case system, and the licensing center.

Again, there are many good web and desktop solutions, but I want to see this in my DotNetNuke portal. I REALLY hate sending customers to a separate web app for this.

Robust KB App

I have found that I like InstantKB.NET a whole lot. I would love to have this integrated with DotNetNuke as well. My dream scenario would be integrate with a forum, where there would be a button for "Create KB Article" which would copy the contents of the thread and start a new article.
