I've seen other tech companies do a New Year's letter, and I'm trying to adopt this in my workflow. So here's a roadmap that I set for myself for 2011:

TextFileSplitter 3

The MEF support is half-baked, so I want to upgrade everything to .NET 4.0. This version of .NET has a native implementation of MEF, so that I don't have to resort to the downgraded assembly that was created for .NET 3.5.

I also want to flush out the SDK. It needs a lot of love, and I now have the energy to get this done.

PainlessSVN 2.0

I want to see if I can get everything moved to .NET 4.0, as this version of the framework has a LOT of improvements. I'm hampered by .NET 2.0 right now, and I can't do a lot of things that I want. Moving to the latest version of .NET will let me implement some needed functionality without the need to resort to hacks.

DeleteDevCrumbs

This is a new utility that I created to help me with my builds. I found that I have to add a LOT of files, just to get my build script to get the correct files. One of the things that really annoys me is that there's a lot of temporary files from Visual Studio and Subversion in all my projects. On top of that, ReSharper and my other IDE plugins, also add their own temporary files.

This utility will let you delete all of these nuisance files in one go. For example, you could copy the whole project folder to a temporary folder, and tell DeleteDevCrumbs to delete the bin and obj directories. This little gem will go through all the subdirectories and nuke all of these things. It will also take care of the .svn folders, if you tell it to.

I'm in the process of polishing this for general comsumption.

PainlessSVN Backup

This is an application that has been on the back-burner for a long time. This will be similar to SVN Backup Widget. This is in the design stages, so not much has been done yet. I'm planning on using WPF for the GUI. My hope is that I can design it in such a way, that it can be used as a plugin for the new version of PainlessSVN. Not really sure when this will be done.

Anyways, here's to a fruitful 2011!
