The current VS new project wizards are out of date with Castle and with supporting VS2008. I have a few questions I want to ask everyone about there thoughts in this area. Feel free to reply to as much or as little as you like.
1. Personally, I don't know if a ActiveRecord project template is very useful because you can use ActiveRecord in different ways (ActiveRecordBase or not), while the current wizard seems to be promoting ActiveRecordBase when most of us don't use it. Do we really need this wizard since it is pretty basic? The real question is, do you see it helping new users over a getting started page in the docs or a basic sample project included in the docs? 2. There are also quite a few ways to set up MonoRail, so I propose we cut the functionality of the current wizard back to a basic wizard that builds you an instantly runnable MonoRail app (with your choice of view engine), where you can then use the docs to set up more complex things. This comes back to the point of do we really need new project wizards, are empty sample projects enough? New users to castle are welcome to reply with their opinion to this. 3. Does anyone see value in integrating Castle Visual Studio Integration from the contrib with the new project wizards (all installed from one installer)? 4. Does anyone see a problem with the Castle MSI being released with the newest build of each project, with some being built from the trunk until they have an official release, as long as the installer specifies what versions it comes with? 5. Are there any VS integration features that we should be employing to make any Castle project easier to use? 6. Does anyone see any problems with dropping support for VS2005 since we are only supporting 3.5 from now on? -- Jono --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Castle Project Development List" group.
