    Great idea. Great site. Thanks for putting it online.
    I’ve added a link to Silverlike on SharpToolbox.com (http://sharptoolbox.com/links). May I suggest you add SharpToolbox.com as a resource?

    As you can see, SharpToolbox.com references .NET tools and libraries in general. This includes Silverlight dedicated tools and libraries, as well as .NET tools and libraries than are compatible with Silverlight.
    You can find content in http://sharptoolbox.com/categories/svg-xaml and more by simply searching for silverlight in tool descriptions.
    I plan on adding a “Built for Silverlight” attributes to flag tools.
