If you’ve followed the Astoria team blog for the last year (well almost a year), you’ve no doubt noticed the team’s transparency in discussing design decisions. In addition, they were very open to feedback, and in many cases, it was actually customer comments/suggestions that solidified the direction of certain features.
Today, the Entity Framework team has followed suit and started a new blog that will focus on providing the community with a view into their design process for v2. The initial post outlines a list of features being evaluated for inclusion and shows a glimpse into what can be expected with the release. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this resource and voice your opinions on forthcoming design discussions.
