Just wanted to give a title on this and amplify a little bit. I have been working with .NET since the COM+ 3.0/NGWS (NDA) days and was a Microsoft.NET Early Adopter Partner (EAP). Because of this I have had the opportunity to build two real production products using .NET which is a somewhat unique position. I consider myself expert in many areas of .NET and particuarly Interop, VSIP and VS.NET. I have am also the co-author of a book As I explained earlier: I am available after July 30th. I have come in on a contract basis for the last 7 months and helped Groove produce some great things. We have had a great relationship and will continue to have one in the future (with Groove work). The current contract will complete on July 30th and I am available. I am interested in continuing to do .NET and Web Services work. If you are interested, you can contact me at ManagedCode@attbi.com. Update: Some kind words of reference from Groovers Paresh Suthar,  John Burkhardt and Matt Pope.   8:55:07 AM

W3C has released the next working document for DOM.... W3C has released the next working document for DOM3 Validation, Load and Save. I haven't looked that much at the validation part, but the load and save module is really important. Today there are different methods for loading, parsing, serializing and saving XML documents in all browsers. In IE you have to instansiate MSXML/XMLHTTP, in Mozilla you can use createDocument(), in ASV and Batik there is getURL/parseXML/postURL/printNode. Opera doesn't support it at all. Summary, it's a mess and we need to do something about it. I'm happy this spec is getting there. [protocol7] 7:45:32 AM
