I will try to make this as short as possible, because the longer the introduction is, the smaller are the chances of me continuing to write. I already had a false start in blogging a few years ago, but since that time SymbolSource happened and forced me to write more systematically. The number of posts I’ve put on the project’s blog actually amazes me, I never expected to have written that much, even if some of those posts are more like tweets. Here they are for reference:

• Using SymbolSource as an OpenWrap repository
• Online source code navigation
• Package validation in NuGet Package Explorer
• Announcing private symbol and source repositories
• SymbolSource health monitoring
• Deleting packages from SymbolSource
• Veryfing symbols after upload to SymbolSource
• Set up your own NuGet gallery with SymbolSource
• The new integrated NuGet workflow
• Illustrated guide to symbol and source servers
• SymbolSource and NuGet after 1.2
• NuGet 1.1 is great, but 1.2 will be even better
• NuGet and OpenWrap demo packages
• Announcing NuGet and OpenWrap integration
• Path manipulation projects
• New Castle releases added
• Updated look and feel
• Potential source access issue
• Invitation to Google Groups
• Expanding project support
• Registration problem resolved
• SymbolSource compatability
• .NET library inspiration list
• Public symbol and source servers
• Introducing the symbol and source server project

It’s been an amazing year and a half since February 2010, when we went live with SymbolSource: from having just a crazy idea about reverse engineering srcsrv to becoming a well-known member of the .NET community. I’ve highlighted those posts that are still relevant or that are important to us, historically.

The blog at SymbolSource will remain focused on the project, here I hope to publish some other interesting materials on .NET, that do not necessarily fit there. Or perhaps even some occasional off-topics.
