A great thanks to the dotnetpanel / websitepanel team for opening up this project.    After reading some of the forums it is unclear of why this was turned open source, but I’m sure we will hear more in the next few months.

This is a great tool that is now available for everyone.  Source can be downloaded from sourceforge.

There is a new Microsoft program for startup companies called WebsiteSpark

http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/

It allows small shops (design firms, developers, etc..) to get big name software cheap, basically free after 100 bucks.  I won’t go into all the details, check out the site.  What I do see from this is an opportunity to further Microsoft Development and also get the right tools out to the right people.
