I decided it was time to stop work on the project. I posted this on the project site as a comment also. Over the course of this experiment I received two comments, in the first week only, saying there was interest, but still no feedback was ever received. This was really kind of an experiment in that I was curious if other folks are as tired of MMC apps as I am. It seems people love MMC, at least like it enough to make a web-based alternative less appealing. That's fine. Nothing wrong with that.
Aside from lack of interest, it's now become a matter of *time*. Time is drying up fast for me. My kids are entering a new spoprts season, I'm helping with coaching, new AD and SCCM projects have landed on me, house repairs and bills are still mounting, and my dog is feeling rejected I think.
I've uploaded build 2011.03.23.001 this morning. That will be the last of its kind. I will leave the site up for a few more days or a week maybe. On to new challenges now - cheers!

David,
How are you mate?
Are you looking for another challenge right now? I may have one and could offer a reward ;-)
If you are interested please let me know.
Jason
Hmmm. That would depend on what that challenge involves.
David,
I would like to produce a plotting program for AutoCAD but not through sheet set manager. I would like to have a dialog box that would give you the most basic of options an would produce the plots and save them to PDFs. I am currently in the process of putting the process on paper in a flow chart. I was thinking since your into the ebooks an Amazon voucher would be payment? ;-)
Jason
I really appreciate the offer and admire the idea, but I think products like AcroPlot do that already (unless I'm missing something?). In any case, I don't work with AutoCAD programming enough these days to take on something of that scope. My work these days is with mostly Microsoft technologies and server environments, or with scripting, databases and web apps. My nickname fits pretty well actually. If AcroPlot doesn't do what you want, I know some ADN developer types that might be interested in working on it, but I can't promise anything.
David,
Thank you for he suggestion of AcroPlot. The prgram I am proposing will need to obtain atributes from the drwaing layout tab and utilise this within the saving of the PDF. If I have any other Ideas in regards to the Microsoft side of things I will give you a call! My brain is always thinking of ways to improve my work flow.
Also can't wait till your new book comes out, just in time for 2012 to be installed!
Have a good night/day what ever time it is.
Jason
I appreciate that very much - thank you!
Hi David,
your project sounds excellent, thanks.
Please, can you re-upload the wwa.zip file, I can't find it anymore?
Thanks.

Or maybe it's possible to send me the last build via email?

Thank you Christian! I will upload it later today and repost a link.
Hi David,
thanks for re.uploading :-)
Maybe it's possible so send via email now? (christian.kuever@addon.de)
Now i have a little time to test..
Thank you very much
Christian
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the .zip file from where I am this morning (US-EDT zone). I should have it posted sometime before 9pm today (local time). I appreciate your interest in this. So far, that makes three people. :)
Hi David,
thank you very much.
I will test and provide feedback.
I can't understand why you didn't get more feedback. This is exactly what my customer small helpdesk teams needed.
Do you post the download link here in the comments?
Regards,
Christian
Christian, everyone: I reposted the ZIP file and a link to it on the blog today. Check the main (home) page for the posting.
