ReGhost.NET makes a stir

19 01 2006

It looks as though my ReGhost.NET project has caused quite a buzz within the SharePoint community, which is currently boasting over 330+ cumulative downloads.

You will find it listed on the german SharePoint Community site in the top 10 web parts and tools list (Die 10 neuesten Webparts und Tools).

Michael Greth was also kind enough to talk about the ReGhost.NET tool on his SharePoint Podcast which you can find over here.

Various other people including Angus Logan, Koby Parnell, MarcosT, Romeo Pruno, Shane Perran have all shown an interest in the application :)

You will also find it listed on the well respected WSSDemo site under sharepoint utilities.

Cool!

I hope it continues to bring value to everyone. Let me know if you have any questions regarding ReGhost.NET – all feedback welcome!
