In going with my posting about trying to start back up my personal MySCORM open source project, it jogged my memory about a blog posting I read awhile back.

(Also i realized i've been posting links to a lot of OTHER peoples writings, postings, etc.  I going to try to really make an effort to start posting some of my own demos/examples based on some of the tools/tips/projects i've been blogging about)

Over at Coding Horror, Jeff Atwood was giving $5000 and MS was matching his $5000 to an open source .NET project in an effort to help promote the open source community as well as .NET (which doesn't have a strong presence in the open source community).  The posting itself and the money isn't really whats I find interesting, it is the comments to the posting by readers that I think contains a BUNCH of great open source projects.  I encourage you to take a look through the comments and seeing if any of these projects might help you out, no sense in reinventing the wheel.

Here are a few I feel are worth looking into:

ITextSharp - its a PDF generator

SubSonic - a GREAT DAL/OR Mapper

ZedGraph - a 2d graphing library

Umbraco - CMS that runs on MS SQL

Cuyahoga - Another CMS built on .NET 2.0

#ziplib - a zipping library (i've used this before and it worked great, really came in handy and was easy to use)

These incentives will benefit the open source community because now more programs will get created and ameliorated this way. Can you tell us a bit more about what your program does?
