DotNetKicks to be Open Sourced

published 1 year, 9 months ago, submitted by gavinjoyce 1 year, 9 months ago

weblogs.asp.net — As the community on DotNetKicks.com has grown in size over the past year, I have received received many offers of help with adding features and many requests for the source code.

We are in the business of solving problems, and the best solution here is to open source the project. I had planned to release some code this past weekend, but some of the current dependencies include code that I don't wish to release.
