The DotNetKicks.com open source project has picked up quite a bit of steam lately, over 75 commits have been made to the SubVersion trunk in the past week (rss feeds). It is great that the project is moving again, thanks to the wonders of open source and a great community. The two big new features this week are user profiles and upcoming story sorting.

The "Who's Online" feature is also pretty neat.

Should the user link go to the User Profile page or the Stories Kicked by User page? Right now, it goes to the Stories Kicked by User page.

I think I'll change it to go the the user profile page, I originally set it to go to the kicked stories page because the profile page wasn't implemented.

I like the avatar thing too. The upcoming stories feature was long overdue. Good job!
