Libronix for Pocket PC

My First Blog entry will be a request for help... In spare time, I am working on a PPC program in Visual Studio that will display Libronix created XML files like Notes and Timelines... It will likely be several months before I have anything close to a beta, but am looking to see if anyone has already written code they may wish to share, or are willing to write code... I intend this to be an open source project...
Initial plan is to prototype a Notes reader that displays text stripped of all formatting... Initial requirements to run will be .Net Compact Framework 1.0 and at least a PPC 2002... Once I get some testing done and some generic display libraries designed, I'll decide whether to either to re-write to include palm OS 5, or to further restrict to newer .Net 2.0...

I'm not much of a programmer but...
Out of Morbid curiosity, what language are you working in? VBasic, Vc#, VC++?
By the way anyone that wants to help can get visual studio in thier favorite language for free:

Language
I was hoping for Visual Basic, but the only code I have working right now is in Visual C# and embedded C++... I'm starting with some code I found on Code Source and seeing where it goes... Its from a XML Treeview program I'd like to update to .NET. (The trouble with .NET CF 1.0 is that the built in functions can't seem to randomly search for a node in a XML tree the way it can in the PC version. Unless I am mistaken, one has to read and process the XML file in a continuous fashion from start to finish. I'm looking at older code (VS6) to see how it was dealt with before .NET) In any case, as long as a section can compile into a working DLL or EXE, I can mix and match languages and even versions of Visual Studio...
I might ping Dominic and see if he wants to trade code... Of course, I need to get something done to trade first...
I don't believe the free Express Visual Studio supports Smartdevice like Pocket PCs, but even so 80% of code should port ok...
God Bless,

correct on the free versions
You are correct on the free versions they don't support PPC.
