Slow/No CodePlex Response

As you may know, the Mercurial repository for#SNMP on CodePlex became corrupt a long time ago. CodePlex guys tried to restore it once, but it happened again.
So I am wondering if CodePlex would like to support Mercurial as much as Team Foundation Server, as I have sent them emails for several times, and recently even no reply from them.
I fully understand that Microsoft is not dedicated to open source like it advertised, and a lot of nice guys have left CodePlex in the past few months, but this site is not yet shut down as GotDotNet, so please help resolve existing issues, guys.

BigDipper Light: Notes on RC 2

Today, I started typing the release notes for our next major release, BigDipper, or 7.0.
It is not yet fully finished, as for the removed/obsolete things I did not document all the workarounds for you. The help document is not yet compiled either.
However, I think the bits there are already very stable and will be turned over as 7.0 RTM in the coming weeks. So if you want to try out 7.0 as early as possible, it is time now.
Since I will travel a lot in the coming weeks too, I cannot tell on which day exact the RTM will be announced. Keep an eye here and stay tuned :)
