Last night, I made alot of progress creating a .NET API for Flickr.  There doesn't seem to be alot of activity on the Flickr.NET project, and I don't like some of the decisions they made in the design.  They seem to have taken a direct wrapping approach to it rather than designing an API that fits in the .NET world.  It's amazing how spoiled you get when you're used to using good API's.  You start saying things like, "You mean I get an array back from this method?  Eww."  or "That's a silly name for that member."  Of course, it's probably appropriate to note that Flickr.NET seems to have been created with an emphasis on uploading.  I'm more interested in sifting through the metadata.

Anyway, I've got most of the functionality that I'm interested in implemented, and I'll be doing the rest a little at a time.  I've used the design guidelines fairly strictly, and I think I'm coming up with something that's really approachable for .NET users, and is still correlated enough to the Flickr API documentation that the parallels are easily discoverable.  You may notice some bizarreness here as I play with the different kinds of integration I have planned for my blog.
