New BlogSvc Release and Oxite

Wow, I believe I'm all caught upontherecent hypearoundOxite. Although I can't help but feel a bit left out in the cold. I mean BlogSvc has been on codeplex much longer than oxite and it never received this much attention. It is a shame because I believe the newest release, BlogSvc 0.8 Wizard Release is solid example of how to build a content management solution using MVC.
I know BlogSvc doesn't yet have all the fancy administration pages or widgets/plugins yet, but we have a solid foundation to get there. I wish we could bring all the developers together on one solution so we build the next WordPress on ASP.NET MVC. Perhaps combine the best of BlogSvc, BlogEngine.net, dasBlog, SubText all into one super solution and call it SuperPressTM.

It's not because Oxite is "better" than BlogSvc, it's the fact that it comes from MS as an example of "production" code. Even thought BlogSvc could be "better" than Oxite, in the eyes of many developers it doesn't care the same "weight" as Oxite (MS is a bit bigger than an OSS project). Now, this is not your fault or your problem to solve; it's just how the dice were rolled.
