Nice Deployment utility

A Great utility from Ted Pattison:
STSDEV is a proof-of-concept utility application which demonstrates how to generate Visual Studio project files and solution files to facilitate the development and deployment of templates and components for the SharePoint 2007 platform including Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). Note that the current version of the stsdev utility only supports creating projects with the C# programming language.

Manager Approval WF

SharePoint sequential workflow built in Visual Studio 2008, written in C#. Builds upon the Approval workflow sample from the MOSS 2007 SDK to extend the out-of-the-box Approval workflow template. It uses a custom InfoPath Association form that contains all the functionality of the original, PLUS it also asks for the name of a User type column in the target list. At run-time, the workflow will attempt to retrieve the SharePoint user object from that column, look up that user's manager in Active Directory, and use the manager as the Approver. If a manager is not found, it uses the default Approver list specified in the Association form.
