Not only this new version continues to have all source code available, but the methodology adopted by the development team allows and encourages interaction with the community. Reporting issues, submitting feature requests and other community interactions happen at below locations:
-
The ASP.NET Home repository is the starting point for people to learn about ASP.NET 5. The repo issue tracker should be used for general feedback and discussions.
-
Each particular ASP.NET library and program has its own Github repository. Particular issue reports and feature requests should be submitted in the respective repository. See all the repositores at the ASP.NET project Github profile.
-
The ASP.NET 5 forum at the ASP.NET forums site.
-
StackOverflow. Search with the tags: asp.net-5, asp.net-mvc-6 and entity-framework-7.
-
JabbR chat room for real-time discussions.
Additionally, every Tuesday Microsoft team engages in real time with the community in the ASP.NET Community Standup at Scott Hanselman’s YouTube Channel. In these weekly sessions the Microsoft team reports recent development and design decisions and also answers questions submitted on Google Hangout and on Twitter. The Community Standup website is itself an ASP.NET 5 web application hosted in the cloud.
Past sessions are archived in a YouTube playlist.
