Let me know what you guys need help with and I will do my best to help. I work with the microsoft package also (asp.net, sql, etc...) and I've configured a couple of dotnetnuke boxes. I just don't like that the core is written in vb.net so I sometimes use rainbow (c# port of dotnetnuke(.
I wrote an email to Koji-san telling him to call me so I could discuss some good options for the webzine's. I would recommend develping social apps. I've been doing a lot of open social coding for myspace, but facebook apps are the same idea. It's a great viral way to not only spread the brand but update users when you have a new article, etc...
