Key Principles
The C# reference implementation will....
- Provide a reusable object model and libraries used to build concrete Direct integrations
- Proivde an "out of the box" installable servers on a single server.
- Be quality code that can credibly be used in the real world.
- Have no install dependencies other than what comes standard on Windows Server 2008 (build/test tools don't count, .NET 4.5 and SQL Express exempted).
- Be modularized so that implementors can easily replace any major component with their own implementation, or when appropriate extract components for use in their own codebases.
- Will not include any code that breaks the BSD license.
- Have clear structure and documentation that minimizes developer "jumpstart" time.

Coding Guidelines
Components
The C# Reference implementation provides software at two levels:
Object Model and libraries that allow you to integrate and leverage - pick and choose - even copy and paste - Direct technology into your existing .NET code.
More packaged solutions that use the object model to deliver turn-key out of the box functionality.
