Here's the Roadmap: http://www.sitefinity.com/product/see-also/roadmap The mobile changes look good, and I have no love for Silverlight so it's nice to see that go. I have not heard of a lot of requests to Sync SharePoint libraries with Sitefinity. The Ecommerce module can only get better.

When using Telerik controls in a web application, it's important to know that controls like RadTextBox add many events at runtime via Javascript. If you View the HTML Source of a page with Telerik controls you'll notice that there's a at least one Javascript call per Telerik control.If you're in IE 8 that has a notoriously slow Javascript engine, this can create performance issues for you.http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/please-help-extreme-performance-issues-in-ie8.aspx

You can get .NET to combine lots of JS files into one file at runtime to reduce the number of calls from browser to server. Telerik has a control that will do the same thing.http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scriptmanager-script-grouping.html

Recently I've worked on getting the browser to prompt the user if they want to leave the page when changes have been made to a form. This is done with the onbeforeunload event, and each browser displays a popup in a slightly different way. You are also able to set the text that displays in the popup, but I've found that while IE and Chrome use this text, Firefox ignores it.Here's some good links on how to work with this event:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1244535/alert-when-browser-window-closed-accidentallyhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/803887/can-i-pop-up-a-confirmation-dialog-when-the-user-is-closing-the-window-in-safarihttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/7255649/window-onbeforeunload-not-workinghttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/2253522/ie-onbeforeunload-not-firing-extenralinterface-callbackhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/9480302/onbeforeunload-w-ajax-does-not-work-w-ie

More and more I find bots are filling out contact us forms right and left. I do like two of Telerik's strategies to deal with this.The first is 'Minimum form submission time', which assumes that a human cannot fill in the form correctly within 3 seconds.The other is the 'Invisible textbox' where a textbox is made invisible through CSS. A bot will see the textbox, and fill it in. Two nice strategies. I assume the more advanced bots just wait 10 seconds to fill in a form and they probably have a workaround for invisible text boxes, but ...

Here's a problem I'm having:Cannot unregister UpdatePanel with ID '' since it was not registered with the ScriptManager. This might occur if the UpdatePanel was removed from the control tree and later added again, which is not supported.Parameter name: updatePanelIt turns out that the Sitefinity backend is complaining about a Telerik RadCaptcha control that I am using. The page works in the live site, but blows up with this error in the Sitefinity backend. Not sure what the fix is yet.
