Please open source &quot;Windows Live Photo Gallery&quot; too (also part of the Live package for Windows 7+).<p>It&#x27;s a superb photo management application that was introduced with Vista (similar to iPhoto&#x2F;Photos&#x2F;Lightroom). It stays in low maintainance mode since its Vista days (moved to Live apps bundle) and it would have a better home in the open source community.

Someone knowlegable about Live Writer should update the Wikipedia article about Windows Live Writer with this information. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Windows_Live_Writer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Windows_Live_Writer</a>

To this day I run a Windows 7 VM in Parallels on my MacBook Air in Coherence mode just so I can write blog posts in Windows Live Writer. I looked for years for a setup that could beat this, and unbelievably, never found it.

Oh very cool! This was one of my favorite apps at the time but it never worked with any of the blog platforms I was on so I only got to play with it. Glad it&#x27;s opened up now. Maybe we&#x27;ll see more usage.

This is really cool. Open sourcing is always THE suggestion whenever a product gets abandoned and it is amazing to see Microsoft of all companies to follow through with it.<p>Thanks everyone who made this happen!

Interesting that Live Writer uses Windows Forms, though WPF was available, at least within Microsoft, when the project started. I wonder why.

I wonder if it could be adapted for editing and publishing a Jekyll site?

I always post this rant about HTML (WYSIWIG) editors. If you know what the buttons do, you can also code HTML! All you have to know is the button&#x27;s corresponding html-tags: h1, h2, p, br, b, i, img, a, ul, ol, li, table, tr, th, td.
