Joe Kaiser, the project coordinator for the BlogEngine.NET Extensions project hosted at CodePlex, asked me if I would like to take over as the new project coordinator. Joe no longer had the time to maintain the project. I have been excited about the BlogEngine.NET project for quite a while now, and so I was delighted to accept the position and responsibility.

With the recent release of BlogEngine.NET 1.3 and with it the new Extension Manager, it's time for a new extension pack release. So in the next few days, I will be creating a new extension pack for the BE 1.3. The release will contain a few new extensions: SnapShots and Odiogo, in addition to updated extensions: Mp3Player by Ruslan Tur and QuickLinks by Clarence Klopfstein.

If you wish to make any contributions to this project, please feel free to upload your extensions as patches to CodePlex or e-mail them directly to me. I will incorporate them into the pack.
