Volunteers needed for the new website

Ok, Ok, I know. The web sites for both user groups look hidous, so last century. Actually, if the internet was invented in the 16th century then that is how those websites would have looked like. :-)

So, it is time for you to stop complaining and start contributing. :-) We have setup a subversion source control at ilm (hush, don’t tell anyone at Microsoft, and yes we do have Team System practice at ilm and do use TFS for internal source control). However, we feel that Subversion is a better tool of choice for open source and community based development, because its free!!!

I would like to kick start the project ASAP. Help us by spending a few extra hours a week. I will buy you a nice dinner at the completion of the project. My way of saying thanks :-) You can volunteer by writing comment to this blog entry and explaining a little bit about your .NET and ASP.NET expertise.

    It sounds like you have chosen to write from scratch using ASP.NET. That seems a little pointless to me unless you have a need of some very custom functionality - there are plenty of good, free content management apps that will get you 100% of the functionality you currently have. Heck, you could probably do it with the blog engine this page is hosted on.

    Do you still need volunteers? I am more than willing to help.

    I am interested in volunteering. I have about a years worth of .NET 3.0 (C#) experience. I do not have ASP.NET exp but was hoping to use this project as an oppurtunity to do that and network with ASP gurus in the TC area.

    Here is some sample source code that can be improved
    http://www.garvander.com/acecomputing/pdf2.zip
    It is an API for creating PDF files directly in acrobat format.
