I have been visiting ASP.NET website a lot, because they are focusing on some open source like DotNetNuke for ASP.NET programmers to emerge their best to integrate and enhance one framework as an extension of IBuySpy framework. How about Windows Forms Does anyone have anything that we should work on together and make our own community better

Open Source Code

I think we need a simple program to start expanding. There are still lots of people don't know how to start and perhaps like me not even know how forms are handled.
We can start from a simple Core base and expand as each of you has your own expertise. We contribute our expertise to exchange and enhance ourself. Keeping a piece of meat will get yourself narrowed isn't it Share it! That's why we got forum here... :)
Imagine that I start ASP.NET like less 3 months ago and I am be able to create my own application and sell to my clients. It's fast and RAD. Folks, if you have some apps that are not using and would like someone to solve for you or discuss. share it out. Hope someone can hear me. Thanks!

I think a project of this magnitude will need <B>at least</B> 3 or 4 good developers on the core team.

another one (just to get a bunch going) i've been playing with is a "Community Reader". Basically, you would have a WebService that would shoot out "standard-like" data (all use the same WSDL file) that you could plop onto any webserver and it would act as a translater for forums and newsgroups (so they all come out the same), then create the "Community Reader" app, to have one central place for all your community type stuff. Sort of what RSS did for news, blogs, etc. You could just use RSS, but I'm thinking of sending data back to the WebService Adapter also.
just another idea ;)

look at Linux.. they are doing same thing. We should team up and earn more $$$ from our clients, but not developers... what you think

A new generation of email addresses, something like: user|domain.com , and a protocol that will give me a power to block users by areas, by domains, by trust level (for example I would like to receive emails only from real people not spammers, people that are trusted by a third party server using the new protocol, their ISP's for example), etc, etc, etc (I can talk about that for two hours)
Ok, I'm just dreaming :) , but it will be nice to have it one day.

Networking (Sockets)
Database (Local mail store)
Windows Forms/GDI+ (well, duh)
Security/Cryptography
Directory Services (LDAP, etc.)
Remoting (to talk with the mail server that we'll write as well ;) )
etc.
I dunno, just an idea, it could work.

I also like the idea of mail client program.
I am new to windows forms developing, I was from ASP.NET. I felt windows forms lacks open source and wish to learn something from here. I would be happy to see anyone can start one. Thanks!
