LinqExtender
The greatest capability for LINQ is extensibility, My Linq.Flickr api shows how to create , add and quey photos from flickr , without knowing a bit of complexity that is underlying. But, there can be many other need for custom query providers like, Linq to facebook, Linq to youtube, etc. So, creating all these , could be very easy and fun, if there is a common framework that will sit between core Linq and custom provider and let developers to focus only on the application specific logic, not on the query internals and thus it will help developers to make their own providers up and running, in no time.
