Re: Who Needs OSS Anyway?

This is what happens with open source projects when the original creators do not work on it anymore... http://tweetsharp.codeplex....

As you can see... nothing. Two "forks" with no changes.

If it was in a different language then I could see it taking off, people contributing and adding to it constantly, with .net - this does not happen.

So in a way, having Microsoft work on the Nu/NuPack project gives an opportunity for the project to survive, sadly for a lot of open source projects, expose directly in Visual Studio is the only way people pick up on them, jQuery being one example and this won't change in the .Net space for a long time. And I hope I am wrong in saying that.

Hey Rob,

This is a really nice technique. For this sort of data - it works really well. I think it's the same on Facebook for statuses etc.

What would be nice is if the code was tweaked so that when you were a post away from the bottom - it would automatically load more data - that way you don't have to constantly hit the bottom of the page - indicating you had finished and it would seem more like a endless pit of posts.

Keep up the good posts!

I'm getting the same problem as mark whilst trying to watch the video - look like the media source is incorrect - "http://tekpub.s3.amazonaws...."
I had the same problem with the Git video on the site.

Well said Scott. What this points out is that there's nothing really that compares with Flash if the comparisons are WPF + AIR and Silverlight + Flex. I don't think there really needs to be anything to compete with it either. As always - best tool for the job :)

Sadly I'm on OS X at the moment so was trying to use Versions or just view it in the web browser.

Can't seem to access the svn repository. Is there a username/password we're meant to use to access it?

And since it is on Codeplex - anyone can contribute and take some of your suggestions and run with them. I agree there's a little too much logic in the views than their should be and would be great to see that handled a little better.

I am curious how you guys find these sort of bugs - as you say - you only found these out by trying to do a simple solution until you saw this bug. Is it through just end-users testing it or is it a more rigorous process?

Why does the video look really familiar? Was something similar not posted right after ASP.NET MVC had been officially announced? :)
