Groove and .NET
Via Dave Winer, it looks like Sam Gentile has been working on Visual Studio .NET extensions for Groove. I’ve done a lot of work using VSIP, so I can appreciate what a chore it is to get managed code extensions to interact through the legacy ATL interfaces to VS.NET. I am always amazed when our devs can get it to work, so it’s really cool to see Sam and his friends get it working. I haven’t seen the Groove integration, but it sounds like it is going to be really awesome — exactly the sort of thing the VSIP people are hoping people will build.
Also nice to hear good things about System.Xml; it’s going to get even better in the next version.
