The non-Core projects on NHibernate are on moving into NHibernate.Contrib. This is the list of projects that we can use and its states:
The new projects here are: Search, Validator, Shards and Burrow. The first two are ready to use. NHibernate Shards is on development (I’m working on it) and Burrow is on development by Fabio Maulo and Kailuo Wang.
NHibernate Shards need some improvements on NHibernate-Core to make the port a little more easier (i.e. Entity-Name).
