Ok....
I know that there is a pretty big community of VB programmers sharing their code (PSC, etc.), but are there any big projects in VB that are open source? I know Linux was written in C, and I think it's really cool how it's under the GNU GPL and everyone has the source to it. Now I know there isn't anything this big in VB, as it's Windows only, but I thought maybe there was something that you guys know about....
Also, how successful do you think one would be? I'm thinking of releasing an HTML editor as open source. I know there isn't going to be a whole lot of people adding on to it (as my site doesn't get a whole lot of traffic), I just think it would be a neat idea....Any ideas?
