As for using codeplex, there are two problems with it. 1. We'd lose any Google link-fu in the domain change. Currently if you search for DbLinq the Google Code page is the 2nd hit and the Google Group is the 3rd hit. Under live.com, the first 9 hits are for us. Dropping all this for codeplex would be a large hit. 2. More importantly, the only way to use codeplex (as far as I can quickly see) is through a codeplex-specific source control program [0]. This is a non-starter for me, as I'm on Linux and do not want to *require* Windows access to contribute to DbLinq. Google's svn support is nicely cross-platform. - Jon [0] http://www.codeplex.com/CodePlexClient/Wiki/View.aspx?title=HowToContribute On Tue, 2009-05-19 at 17:53 -0700, yuniti wrote: > Heh yah that may have come out a bit repetitive, though to be fair I > think I mentioned Google Code about 4 times hehe. > > In any case, seems people are pretty hardcore about having dblinq here > on google code.
