Continuing the topic of SharePoint+Silverlight Guide Pack started in my previous post. This guide pack when completed will include:

• Silverlight API for SharePoint - a Silverlight .NET library exposing a subset of SharePoint Web Services via structured easy-to-use API
• Sample Web Part with Silverlight object using Silverlight API for SharePoint to expose contents of lists and document libraries
• Two sample views hosted in Sample Web Part: a) Explorer View - similar to file explorer with navigation in a Tree View and preview and property display in a pane on the bottom; b) List View - multi-column view with each cell representing one item and preview, editing and basic operations done in-place
• Documentation on API and setup instructions
• Whitepaper on developing Silverlight applications for SharePoint

The beta will be published very shortly on MSDN Code Gallery and I will then update you with more details on the architecture and design. Stay tuned.
