Hi All

I’m finally trying to check iron7 into the GitHub

I’ve selected to put it in /Hosts/Silverlight/Iron7 - where it can be a  
sibling of WinPhone7 - and I’ve mostly got it building here

However, I’m still hitting the issue that Iron7 has a couple of external  
dependencies - System.Windows.Controls.dll from the Silverlight toolkit  
and  
Newtonsoft.Json.Silverlight.dll from [Json.Net](http://Json.Net) - and I really don’t want  
to  
remove these from the app (sorry)

I’m really not sure whether to check these in - I’m kind of scared about  
messing up your lovely source tree.

Sorry if this sounds “wet”… I’m a long way from being a git or build  
tree  
expert. Does anyone have a strong feeling about how I should check this  
in?  
I’m more than a bit tempted just to check this into a new codeplex  
project  
using MS-PL (or whatever license you would prefer) - someone who knows  
their  
way around the ironlang source tree can then merge this in if they want  
to?

Thanks again for all your fab work on ironruby - still loving coding in  
it  
🙂

Stuart

Any external dependencies should go under the Util/ folder. Include  
any licenses as well.

Otherwise, just check it in where you see fit and send a pull request.  
git is really good at moving files around, so it can easily be  
corrected afterwards.

What is the motivation for including Iron7 to the IronLanguages repo?  
Couldn’t it just be a separate github project?

Thanks Jeff

I’ve just sent a Pull request - I hope that iron7 is successfully  
included  
in the Hosts directory.

Included in the source is:

- my code - Iron7
- image derived from “Pinwheel Galaxy” on Flickr - used creative commons
- System.Controls.Windows.dll - which i think is part of Silverlight 4 -  
not  
the toolkit
- the Bing Maps SL control for Windows Phone - it wasn’t clear to me  
what  
the redist rules were on this dll
- [JSON.Net](http://JSON.Net) for SL WindowsPhone - including license

Iron7 itself is a separate solution - it definitely builds in WP7  
Release -  
alongside IronLanguages SL3 Release

Any problems… you’ve got my email address…

Stuart

P.S The code doesn’t currently contain any copyright headers - I want to  
donate the source to [IronRuby.net](http://IronRuby.net) - Apache license sounds OK to me - but  
do  
intend to keep publishing the app on the Marketplace - not sure if  
there’s  
any way I can specify that! (No worries if not)
