Definitely let me know. As usual, Tim@TimRayburn.net will buzz my blackberry throughout TechEd.  Or you can send me a Direct Message via Twitter.

MapCop 0.2 and the move to CodePlex

I'm pleased to announce that my (long idle) project MapCop has a new release. In case you don't know MapCop is a program that analyzes BizTalk maps and produces a report which alerts you to style problems early.  At the current time it has only two rules, but I expect to do allot of work on it over the next several weeks to expand those rules further. I'm also interested in recruiting help from other BizTalk developers who might be interested.  If you'd like to join the team, please drop me a comment and be sure to include an email address where you can be reached. In the meantime, head over to CodePlex and check out the 0.2 bits and source.
