Well I have finally done it... I managed to finish the first version of ASPLD and have decided to open it up to the ASP.NET open source scene. I was going to charge few bucks initially but just decided it would be much better all round if I just let it be open source, in the hope people might submit a few themes and if it becomes fairly popular I'll really give version 2 a lot of time.
This version 1 is pretty scaleable and you can customise it fairly easily, being fairly new to ASP.NET (Been doing it about 12 months) I hope to really make the code more efficient over the next versions as I gain more experience, and maybe even change to MVC once its released.. But we'll see! [more]

The more applications we can get on the ASP.NET open source scene the better I say! It will hopefully make more people take it up instead of automatically opting for PHP.
