For years now, I've been talking about creating some sort of project centered around music. The main idea was to create a website engine that could be used to easily build websites for musicians. It would contain all of the basic functionality needed by musicians. A few months back, I came up with the name Tremolo and started working on it. I put it on CodePlex, but never published it because I didn't have a lot of time to devote to it.

Recently, I decided to start work on it again and re-created the project on CodePlex. CodePlex has a policy where you have to publish a project after 30 days. After 30 days, I hadn't completed a lot of it but didn't want to restart the project. I figured that no one would find it so it probably wouldn't matter if I didn't have it done.

I checked on the stats today and found that a few people had found it. Apparently, the ASP.NET page on MSDN shows the most recent ASP.NET projects added to CodePlex, including mine.

I wasn't too pleased to see it since I haven't really got anything working yet. I've mostly been concentrating on creating the basic structure of the project and making sure that the build and setup scripts are running. One of the main goals of the project is to make it very easy to setup and build, and that part of it is done. There are build tasks to setup and migrate the database, run the unit tests and there will eventually be one for deployment as well. Apart from a couple minor issues, I've got NHibernate setup as well.

So, for anyone who may be interested in the project, I'll be posting updates here. I'm hoping to have the business layer completed after this weekend and the UI soon after that. If you've downloaded the project, sorry there's not much there yet :)
