I'm looking for an example of a 'device ring', somewhat like the one used in Live Mesh (anything in a ring will do) in XAML (WPF/Silverlight). Preferably with demo code or open-source so I can have a look at how things work under the cover. Other animations, like resizing of the elements if they move around the ring, are a nice extra, but are not necessary.
I'm pretty sure quite a few people are looking for this kind of functionality (let's think about showing books, movies, ...), but somehow I can't really find any good examples. Any good pointers to examples are much appreciated.

In Silverlight 4, you would use the new PathListBox control. .toolbox has a good tutorial.

I found a library called Assimp for parsing a lot of 3D model file formats that I could use to import to OpenGL. It seem a good and stable libray but the usage documents are so poor. Can someone tell me how I use this library to import a obj (or another) model? Or just give me a tutorial for that.
I found their documentation to actually be quite good, albeit hard to navigate. Check out the usage page for how to get started.

I need for a ready-to-use WPF contacts manager with source code (possibly in C#).
Incredibly, the web seems to be very poor on that side.
I've found these links for interesting implementation:
http://www.johnstagich.com/WPF/publish.htm -> No source code available
http://www.paulstovell.com/wpf-model-view-presenter -> source code broken link from undetermined time...
I don't need fireworks... just an implementation with basic contacts fields, able to manage some thousands of contacts and an embedded search engine.
I was initially tempted to use Microsoft LightSwitch, but it's already in Beta 1, and the intrinsic limitations of Silverlight made me change road.
Any suggestions?
Although this is not the answer you are looking for try using Karl Shifletts Xaml Powertoys to build simple data entry forms for you in WPF.

I'd like to find applications written, for example, on the Microsoft Silverlight platform. However, popular search engines such as the one integrated into SourceForge only list the root language, such as C#, and say little about XAML or Silverlight.
Does such a directory exist?
The only one that I know of is the Gallery at http://www.silverlight.net, but that is a listing of websites/projects done in Silverlight, but not open source (although some of them may be).
A search on http://www.codeplex.com for Silverlight does come up with a bunch of things though, it all depends on what you are looking for.

I have seen a lot of Carousels to show off WPF. I have never really need one before now though.
Is there a decent free one?
I have access to the Dev Express one, but I am making an open source project and would rather not put code in it that others cannot easily compile.
After some searching, I (re)found the free and fabulous FluidKit (http://fluidkit.codeplex.com/)
It has many controls that are great. One of them is the ElementFlow. This control has many great views methods. One of them is the Carousel view.
(Just as a side note, after looking at them all I think I like the VForm and CoverFlow views best. They are kind of a carousel like view, but can handle a lot of items with out needing resizing.)

Alright, our visual studio solution grows big in terms of the number of projects in it. Except for things that are obvious, I want to check whether the way it is now is what it has to be or we can better reorganize/package it.
Do you know of any good text on guidelines, principles of package and component design that I can reference? Something in depth, with good analysis, not just tier a, b,c or layer 1, 2, 3, etc.
Thanks.
Chapter 28 in the book Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# by Robert Martin and Micah Martin covers the principles.
