CodePlex: Grasshopper sees the wisdom

CodePlex.

My immediate thought was that if this thing is supposed to be a replacement, effectively, for gotdotnet.com, then it was going to be a dissapointement - because not everyone is going to be able to poney up the $10k for a shiny VSTS Level/Caliber MSDN Subscription.

But it looks like there are ways... 'around' that. Only, I don't think the intention is to get you around that obstacle. I think the intention is to get you to ENJOY that obstacle - so much so that you become tempted by it (and think about setting up a tent, or maybe a lemonade stand, complete with check-in constraints, and all the other goodies).

Frankly, not bad.

I think the site could use some definite filtering/navigational help - but it's insanely young. Otherwise, I'm going to keep my eye on it. I may even end up dropping ReverseDOS on it once I make a few more major mods.
