Now that we finally have some breathing room on a release, Rainbow admins/developers are discussing ways to improve Beta 2. Beta 2 is another blog discussion so Ill focus on Rewrite. I was surfing the web for a better wiki engine [ more on that later] and some how stumbled on to some information about .NET 2.0 rewrite. Of course this info is on Scott Guthrie’s blog and in turn is very trusted. Scott explains the different approaches of how to perform url rewriting. He goes over the advantages with my favorite being search engine optimization. To cut to the point, rainbow needs this badly. Im sure his rewrite module is faster and more lightweight then the one we currently use. It also has an easier web.config declarative approach of what url strings to rewrite.
