Project History

This project was born out of an earlier work by Sitecore's David Morrison who created the Sitecore.GlimpsePlugins.SitecoreContext plugin. There is an excellent Virtual User Group presentation given by David which explains what problem the plugin was out to solve.

Moving On

The Sitecore.Glimpse project goals are to:

• Incorporate all the latest advances in the Glimpse framework such as the brilliant Heads-Up Display (HUD) feature
• Offer support for MVC 3 and MVC 4 as well as ASP.NET Web Forms
• Provide a simple, fault free installation mechanism via NuGet
• Simplify the display of the vast amount of information gathered on each Sitecore request
• Add support for the Sitecore Digital Marketing System
• Enable collaboration on the project. To this end unit tests and an automated build mechanism were baked into the project repository from the outset

Your participation in this project is very much welcomed. Please take the time to find out how to contribute.

Thanks to the Glimpse Community

This project is essentially just a couple of custom tabs built on top of the Glimpse open source diagnostics platform for the web. Huge thanks to Anthony and Nik for creating such an awesome ecosystem, enabling a project like this one to surface all of that valuable Sitecore information right into your browser.
