Happy Saint Patrick's Day! May your day be green, lightly hopped and free from snakes.

This week we'll be releasing more changes to ::Workspaces to opening up some of our own internal workspaces so you can play around with it a little more.

As a quick recap: source code for all articles is now being stored in a Git repository, 1 per article, and each article now also has a dedicated Task tracking page where users can post their bugs and suggestions for articles. These two applications (and a third app coming this week) are a "workspace", and allow authors to manage articles outside of the traditional CodeProject UI using their favourite Git client.

The task tracker is simply brilliant (but hey, I'm biased), and we're using it internally and also publicly for CodeProject's Bugs and Suggestions.

The fun bit is you can create your own Workspaces outside of an article, and have as many Git repositories and Task lists as you wish.

We would love your feedback, ideas, things that bug you, things you need - anything. Post your thoughts.

cheers,
Chris Maunder
