New Wilson O/R Mapper templates coming

I'm almost finished with a heavily-modified version of Paul Welter's templates for Paul Wilson's O/R mapper. I don't want to release them until I do a little more testing, but I wrote about them on my blog so you can get an idea as to what's different. Feel free to check it out at http://demarzo.net/archive/2006/11/15/957.aspx and let me know what you think. When I publish the final templates (probably no later than tomorrow) I'll post a follow-up here.

For some new project I was just considering switching from Wilson's OR Mapper & Jason's templates to using .NetTiers. Unfortunately and understandably (everybody has a job and often a personal life) Jason is releasing versions very sporadically. In addition, there is no effort to support 'public' interests/features. Considering that the templates mentioned here are close to what I am looking for and the fact that pwelter seems to support them too I wonder about future plans. Are there any concrete collaborations and maybe even public contributions (ala .NetTiers) for these templates? Also, where can I download a first version of these templates?

 Regards

Paul Welter (the original developer of the templates) contacted me last week about collaborating, and I agreed it was a great idea. He mentioned he would talk to the CodeSmith folks about getting some kind of repository for them. I'm waiting to hear back from him.

In the mean time, I finished some basic unit test framework (based on Paul's original work) and things seem to work fine, so I will be posting the current version of the templates today -- check my web site in a bit...
