Uh, er, um.... I didn't realize there were quite that many. > http://dblinq.codeplex.com Refers people to the code.google.com url. I wasn't really aware that this existed, nor do I know wtf a 0.20 release is (the download is binary, not source). I wouldn't use it. That said, codeplex is a place where developers will go to look for source, so having a "pointer" there referring to code.google.com is a good thing; I'm just not keen on there being a Download link to an unknown version. (Nor, for that matter, do I know who created this page and can update its contents.) > http://code2code.net/DB_Linq/ I wasn't aware that this URL existed either. It looks ancient. Consider it obsolete. (I have no idea who maintains the page, nor how to update/remove it.) Alas, this is the top hit for "dblinq" through bing.com, and the "home page" for linq.to/db. > http://linq.to/db I did know about this one. I'd consider this the "official" home page...except I can't figure out how to actually edit the page. It has some useful contents not duplicated elsewhere (e.g. http://linq.to/db/Tests), and has a nice URL, but my inability to edit it is a bit of a turnoff. > http://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/ I also knew about this one, and is what I consider to be the only source for the DbLinq source code. Of course, you forgot a URL as well: http://groups.google.com/group/dblinq > maybe only one of them should be online? http://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/ Given the present architecture, we need to have at least two online: http://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/ http://groups.google.com/group/dblinq We can debate http://linq.to/db. It's the 4th link returned from Google, so I'm not entirely keen on losing this "juice." Though in an ideal world, we would have only one url: dblinq.org (which would host source+mailing list+issue tracker+...). Alas, I'm not interested in the maintenance overhead that would be required in running a separate site, so the current two site solution will remain status quo for now... We could consider migrating the http://linq.to/db stuff into the dblinq google group... > 2) there are no new releases and news > in 2007-2008 there were releases, but the last post was a year ago.. Yeah, we've been bad about that. > 3) 0.20 release > in google group the last release is 0.18, but on codeplex the last is > 0.20. Which is more reliable? or svn? ) 0.18 is ancient. I don't know what 0.20 is (and there's no source). At present, svn is what should be used. (Does that suck? Yes. Am I working on a 0.19 release?

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to... > http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.6 > > hope see you in mono soon ;) It's in mono trunk now. Why wait? :-) (Though Mono 2.6 will be branching in a week, so you wouldn't be waiting for long, if you were waiting for 2.6...) - Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DbLinq" group.
