Robert J Collins has been working with DotNetNuke since the very beginning of the project (then called IBuySpy Workshop – IBSW). He first ran across Shaun and the IBSW when doing some research to create a hybrid of the original IBuySpy Portal (IBSP). After posting back and forth a bit with Shaun and other early adopters of what is now DotNetNuke and installing the first release of IBSW, Rob decided working with the IBSW and Shaun was the most sensible choice.
“I still remember the very fist time I install then IBSW version 1.0. I remember speaking to Shaun and not only finding that he had a similar idea as me (to make a hybrid of IBS Portal), but that he had beat me to the punch, did a much better job of defining the user interface (inline adding of modules etc), and had even went one step further by making it all Open Source! I had to be involved and I was and still am.” Robert J Collins, Founder of DNN Guru and DotNetNuke Core Team Member.
