I am looking at this from a long term perspective. IE will the CCR become part of WCF or will it replace WCF? What are some negatives of rolling your own WCF pub sub verses using NServiceBus. Also if you are integrating with Silverlight is it a No brainier to stay with WCF? Is it possible to Rank these API’s. I am looking at this from a long term perspective.

]]> Comment on Open source .NET CMS, Oxite by Christian Burne http://brightsparc.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/open-source-net-cms-oxite/#comment-80 Christian Burne Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:42:45 +0000 http://brightsparc.wordpress.com/?p=111#comment-80 Hey Julian; We found Umbraco to be a very good .NET based CMS for Open Source. Also on the Java side, we found Jahia to be better than Alfresco, Magnolia or Open CMS. We put together the .NET Open Source CMS's here: http://www.oshyn.com/_blog/Web_Content_Management/post/Dot_Net_Content_Management_Systems And the results of some preliminary Jahia analysis here: http://www.oshyn.com/_blog/Web_Content_Management/post/Jahia_Open_Source_CMS_(for_Java_developers) Hey Julian;

It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft give us to handle the software side of things in the meantime.

Pity. They were so close.... MS, however, IS using proper OpenID - I'm sure Google will, given the general outcry eg "WTF are you doing people!" But yeah - I'd much prefer to use http://openid.google.com/nicw@.... etc - for the moment, for me, it's wordpress.com :) It’s a good start – the MS one anyway – but the google one is very much a walled garden – you have to recode your site to use the google forked version of openID, not the actual “open” openID standard.

I checked here (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~macinnis@ozemail.com.au/syd/weather.htm) and even though most Sydney-siders perceive that the sun shines all the time, it only really shines uninterrupted for about a quarter of the year, and for about a third of the year it comes in and out of the day. But, you'd think Google would try and get sunny days. All photos look better under sun...! :-) It is amazing that a great majority of Sydney photos have clouds.
