I know it is a little early as far as the language is concerned, however, I had a 2 hour video conference today where the presenter was demonstrating the new XMLA features for Visual Studio 2005 and it was extremely impressive.

With my interest being peaked, I came home and Googled for some resources on the subject and I was severely disappointed. I thought it might not be a bad idea to get a head start and add a forum for XMLA discussion. I am sure it will start off slowly, however, based on what I saw today I have no doubt it will become extremely popular.

Just a thought

Sorry but we rarely add new forums and then only if there already is a large demand for it. Also keep in mind that while we sometimes talk about other languages this is VB Forums. Thanks for the idea anyhow.

Basically you can post related questions in the.NET Architecture and Design

XMLA can be looked upon as a subset of XML+Web Services. I'd say the best forums for this are the XHTML/HTML forum or the Architecture and design forums, depending on whether you want to ask about the business logic aspect of it, or the syntax. Later, when SQL Server gets settled into the market, the Database forum can be included too, since SQL Server will be using it.
