I've uploaded the new Quick App originally developed by the Ed Kaim and the rest of the crew at SharpLogic (enhanced/butchered by me) to the Windows Live Platform Quick Applications codeplex project.

This site is really big (internally we call it a Quick App++).

Why so big? we want to demonstrate some things which can't be demonstrated as easily as the previous Quick Apps.

Where can I see it running? 

• SharpLogic are hosting 2 implementations of this code base (one with branding the other without)
  • check them out at: http://adventureworksresorts.sharplogic.com/  and http://www.pucklink.com *note: these sites aren't affiliated with Microsoft.

What is in it from Windows Live?

• Live ID being associated with ASP.NET Profiles
• User Generated Video Content
  • Accepting file uploads
  • dropping the uploads onto a MSMQ Queue
  • automatically encoding using Expression Encoder
  • programmatically uploading to Silverlight Streaming
  • rendering the videos back from Silverlight Streaming
• Map Point Web Service
• Contacts Control
• Spaces Photo Control
• Windows Live Alerts

To access the code right now:

• either download it from the Source Code tab.
• request developer access to the project so you can log bugs & update code

What is the status of it?

• The code is complete but I won't add it to a codeplex release for a week or two just to make sure everything functions OK

What is the future?

• Hardening, Hardening, Hardening!
• Creating a branded instance with a UI which can be Shared under the MS-PL license

Find a bug?

• log an issue in codeplex.

Want to talk about it?

• use the codeplex discussions

Big Shout out to Daryll McDade (Microsoft US) for driving this project!
