Silverlight Contrib to Merge with Silverlight Extensions

Today, we are excited to announce that the popular Silverlight Contrib and Silverlight Extensions projects will be merging into a single project! We think this move will greatly benefit the Silverlight developer community. Combining the two projects will provide a centralized location for developers looking to contribute controls to the community as well as those seeking to find controls for use in their own applications. This consolidation will help to reduce overlapping efforts in addition to promoting a more rapid release cadence.

During the consolidation phase, we still encourage feedback and issue reports on both projects. We will merge all of the project information from both projects once the name has been finalized and a centralized site has been developed.

So which name will we keep? That is your decision! From your votes, we will keep the more popular name. Please make sure you voice your opinion by voting. Votes from the community will be accepted until March 29th, 2009 at 6:00 PM EDT.

As new information is available we will post updates on both the Silverlight Contrib blog and the Silverlight Extensions blog.

Stay tuned!
