Complicated C# Generics

We've been giving some thought to reworking some low level layers of Povo's wiki rendering system. Along the way we ran up against an impressively difficult problem in converting some "weakly typed" classes to C# generics. A more full writeup is here, including links to help you tell us why we're missing the easy answer. (ahem.)

iPhone Application

We've been furiously developing "real" applications for the iPhone. We were happy to hear the announcement of a formal SDK, but we're not waiting until January. We have three application bits at the moment:
  1. The main "Povo Client"
  2. A Mobile Safari Plugin to allow any web application to get GPS information (with user permission of course)
  3. A iPhone QR Codes (Wassat now?) decoder application, allowing you to use the camera to get bookmarks, contact info, etc.

ExtJS Library

We use the excellent Ext JS library for the fancier bits of our user interface. We wrote an article about our modifications which you can read here.
