Good news for ASP.NET 2.0 development with Cuyahoga

Today, Scott Guthrie announced that VS.NET 2005 will get an alternative project model for web projects. If I understood well, this new model allows developing web applications in class libraries just like it is done in Cuyahoga, but with all the power of the new ASP.NET 2.0 features.

I'm very very happy with this announcement, since I started getting worried about the upgrade path to ASP.NET 2.0 (that is: building the class libraries works fine, but VS.NET in its current state doesn't support ASP.NET development in class libraries at all).

The news doesn't have any direct influence on the core development (since I'm determined to support .NET 1.1/Mono 1.0 for a while), but for module development, it might be very interesting to take advantages of the new ASP.NET 2.0 features.
