The fact that this is so out in the open on Github is pretty amazing - shows how much Microsoft is changing.

- cies 11y agoYups. They day I read their massive open source release announcements I knew that MS is from now on not the same company it was. Mahatma Gandhi supposedly said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Which I think is very applicable to MS attitude to open source. Now they have a new attitude: If you can't beat'm, join'm.

The Entity Framework team uses a transparent design process [1] since 2008 and the C# team also opened the design process to the public some time ago. But it is of course getting more wide spread and even more open.
