Hi

I developped in .NET an API around the webservices that excist for alfresco. This can be used lik en rich clients , asp.net, silveright etc… .

I can now do allready some feutures like. check in check out. Versioning of documents. Insert / download documents etc, . A file browser in .NET etc. And a lot more

All this in a very simple manner like.

AlfrescoWS alfr = new Alfresco("endPointURL", "loginname", "password");

Document doc = alfr.GetDocument("noderef");

or

alfr = alfr.InsertDocument("spacenode","docname","bytestream");


Now I know many people try to accses alfresco through .net in an very easy way, but they stumble fast on the complexity of the webservies … . This can help a lot of dev by a very quick manner.

Now i'm not intend to spread it totally free. But I want some feedback of this should be a hit/success before I tottaly complete every aspect of the api and put in on the internet for a small fee.

By example with the api you could make very easy an office 2007 plugin that interacts great with alfresco.

I'm sure that there will be takers for your application.   There are frequent questions here.

However
a) Alfresco recommends the use of WebScripts rather than WebServices. 
b) You should probably be using CMIS for those types of operations.  There are already Open Source Java projects in particular OpenCmis/Chemistry.    The .Net equivalents will exist very soon, if not already.
