Great stuff. I agree with including the dependencies. Note we are using standard TFS for source control and not Subversion. I would recommend publishing your changes frequently to codeplex and when we near a release we can take stock and set any specific goals. What are your .net framework requirements? We have two branches going, one for 3.5 and one for 4.0. If you only support 4.0, thats fine, if you support both, you can choose the one you want to integrate into and I can ensure that the two code bases are in sync.
Looking forward to the code!
