I had a very similar idea, although it would allow you to plug-in different data providers. My idea is that libraries would hire someone (me, most likely) to produce a plug-in that allows people to interface with their systems and rate books and things, and show up in the app. It was much too large a project just for me though. :) http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment29http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment29Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:19:53 GMTspecialization of the application ? http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment28http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment28Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:24:46 GMTDon't you think MS guys will find the specialization of the application a bit... ironic? http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment27http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment27Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:18:53 GMTThis is not a secret project, its already there published on GitHub, i noticed it was there 2 days ago :) http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment26http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment26Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:57:52 GMTSo when will this article get published? :o http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment25http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment25Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:37:48 GMTthe title is a little bit misleading, now, it isn't secret anymore ;) http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment24http://ayende.com/4382/my-secret-project-alexandria#comment24Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:44:15 GMTOh, I thought you were announcing NHibernate for Balsamiq...
