Comments on: Redmond Developer News: Open Source .NET Projects Getting Cold Shoulder? http://www.mindtouch.com/blog/2008/04/15/open-source-dot-net/ Blogging new enterprise software, mashups, and the application integration platform we develop: Deki Wiki.

Also, I think it's important to note MindTouch released the source code to the MindTouch Desktop Connector that allows you to drag/drop files and entire directory structures to a Deki Wiki instance via a Windows client. Steve makes a great point about how we try our best to make our work reusable by others. I think this is very important because more open source and reusable .NET components are so critically important to the overall ecosystem.

It simply didn't fit our needs. Deki Wiki includes several open source .Net components, including the MySql .Net connector, SgmlReader, Lucene .Net, and of course Mono. For each project, we contribute back where we can. Furthermore, we make a conscious effort to split our own work into reusable components, such as Dream and soon the DekiScript runtime. I think our work and involvement speaks for itself. For the same reason we don’t use db4o. It simply didn’t fit our needs.

How much reusability do we have in these projects? Should we assume the excessive diversity? Why do you, for example, don't use NHibernate with DekiWiki?

Hahahahahaha..... I known what you are doing. xkcd.com only delivers its humor on Mon, Wen, and Fri so you’re trying to fill in the blanks:
