Virtual Earth JavaScript Intellisense Helper codeplex project update for those who want to contribute

Unfortunately, there was a configuration snafu with the email address I gave out for you to request access to the project as a contributor.  If you you sent an email from a non Microsoft email address prior to this post, then you received a "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" response.  I have fixed the problem, but it may take some time to replicate to all of our servers.  Please try again, if you still get a failure response, wait a day.  I assure you the email address is valid:).

I have completed refactoring source code project structure to enable better distribution of work across multiple contributors.  I’ve also created work items ready to be assigned to contributors.  So don’t be shy about contributing:).  The more contributors we have, the faster this turns into a useable solution for everyone! 

This will be the last time I blog from here about ongoing project issues.  All further project specific communications will be done via the codeplex project discussions tab.  I will, of course, make announcements about release on this blog:).

I will publish basic getting started instructions for contributors in the next day.  I will put the instructions on the discussions tab.

JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control

UPDATE: Fixed the embedded video.

Have you ever wished you could get JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control in Visual Studio 2008?  I have, so I came up with a solution and started a codeplex project!  I just recorded a short 10 minute channel 9 screencast explaining the solution.  The screencast is here.  I have also embedded the video in this post for those of you who prefer that.  Once the video has started, you can double click it to go fullscreen.

The project is not finished.  I need people to volunteer to contribute so we can release full intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control 6.0.  Instructions for people who want to contribute are in the screencast.  The more people willing to contribute, the faster we make this available for everyone!

The codeplex project is http://codeplex.com/vejs.
