Check out the demo for "Pligg.NET"

[kbeeveer46]

As some of you may know, I haven't spent much time with Pligg since back in May when I graduated from College. I got a job as an ASP.NET developer. Recently, I was thinking, what better way to learn ASP.NET/VB.NET then to convert Pligg to it, hence the code name "Pligg Dot Net" For those not familiar, Pligg is written in PHP.

I spent the last week and a half building the front end. Since I've only spent a week and a half on this there's no back-end management that you can demo quite yet

If you want to play around with the demo you can view it here: PliggDotNet.com Feel free to play around, submit stories etc etc. Any comments would be helpful

With the time that I had I tried to incorporate as many features as I could. Obviously, I couldn't get them all. It's only two weeks old and Pligg is 2 years I plan on continuing to develop this in my free time. Note: This has nothing to do with Pligg version 1.0, 2.0 etc. This is something I've just done in my spare time.

Nice start KB

Nice! Is it written in .NET 2.0?

[kbeeveer46]

Yes, I wrote the entire thing in .NET 3.5 and then was too cheap to buy web hosting (which I just did about 10 minutes ago) so I redid it in 2.0 to use the free host. I don't think I was using any 3.5 functionality at the time anyways.

It's using SQL 2005 for the database.

I'm impressed. Great work. I'm mainly a .NET guy myself.

If you ever want to check the status of the project I've purchased the domain http://www.pliggdotnet.com and will be putting the latest version up there every day or so, depending on how much time I have to work on it. If this turns into an open source thing I'll try to get a project running on sourceforge.

[davemackey]

Let me know if you put it up on sourceforge. I'd consider helping in the development.

I just created a Sourceforge Project and am waiting for approval. It can take 1-3 days.

They are normally pretty quick when I created mine it was done in hours

This is a vacation time and many OSS project members usually go on a trip this season - may be that is the reason. But the official mail and message displayed on submit states it usually takes 1-3 days (when i created a project - it took only 2 hours to get approved)
