Wanted – Best Practices for Configuring and Using the new R2 WCF Adapters

I am looking to document “best practice” experiences in configuring and using the new R2 WCF adapters so others can learn from the mistakes/recommendations made by others. If you have anything to contribute I would greatly appreciate it.  Either post recommendations here or email me directly at mmckeown@microsoft.com with “WCF Adapter Best Practices” in the heading. I am working to compile a list and publish it by end of October. Thank you!

The most fun part of it is that it’s “Do-it-yourself” project with details on the parts and steps to perform. Looks real cool to me. I probably would not put clear plastic on top – I am not that concerned that guests will try to stick their fingers into the insides — but otherwise I’d love to create one for myself, if I would have time. Hats off to Terracode.com for a beautiful idea!
