"1.  Support Seamless Localization of Content"

does that mean detecting browser setting and localizing content automatically, and then also having a language selector somewhere, where it is saved in the session, and saved in by the ProfileProvider if the user is logged in?  so if we ability to input Spanish content for the same HTML page and the user can choose which default language they see? all the navigation and labels are localizable also?

Any rough estimate on when these will be done and any idea what is next on the list?

I am working on a website and using WORM, but not sure how much work it would take to convert my modules over yet....

thanks.

Yes, that's pretty much what I mean.  The one thing I would call out to make sure you are thinking the same thing as me is that I would not be actually localizing content for you -- I would make it possible for you to create content for multiple locales.  And yes that would include thing like navigation and labels/titles.  When will that be done?  That I cannot really say, since it depends on my time, but it is a high priority, although its also very possible that lower priority items that are much easier may get done sooner -- so priority isn't everything.  But it is a very high priority as I discovered in my previous version of WilsonDotNet that the localizability was a very big draw.

Thanks, Paul Wilson

Its definitely on my list, and certainly is a high priority, but I haven't started any of those changes yet.  There's also something to be said for not updating stable applications too often, as that can cause a vicious cycle.  So right now I'm enjoying my web sites all running nicely, making some changes to the ORMapper instead, reading/reviewing some books, and starting to think about some articles.  I also have to get ready for my talk on custom providers at the Atlanta Code Camp, and I still need to officially announce this WebPortal in a loud public mannner, with a contest to encourage more modules and skins/themes, now that its proven itself nicely.

Thanks, Paul Wilson
