What I'd really like to attempt is a port of MockMaker to .Net. That would be interesting.

One thing I've noticed is that porting heavily test-covered code is incredibly easy. It helps that C# resembles Java's long lost twin brother in many ways. What's really good is that the test code can generally be copied almost verbatim as it tends to be quite simple, and it lets me drive the production code into existence in the .Net idiom, as I'm duplicating the intent rather than simply pasting Java into C# and fixing all the syntax errors.

Woohoo, two weeks off. What will I be doing? Probably sitting behind a keyboard coding :) Sort of an open source busman's holiday. When I'm not slumped on the sofa that is.

Started contributing to the .Net MockObjects project this weekend. It's still in the early stages but the fundamentals are there. I can't take any credit for that, Griffin has gotten off to a great start. All I've really done so far is convert the unit tests to NUnit 2.0. Watch this space though.
