The thread is indeed about getting better support for MVC in C1 and the work done by both of you is doing just that. The reason I'm posting here, is because we aimed at also improving MVC support (on C1 Function level) and there is a lot of overlap here.
We didn't ignore your work. We obviously took at long deep look at the work you guys did, before taking any decisions on the direction we would take.
The core problem we needed to solve was to create a feature that allow a developer to take an existing "vanilla MVC application" and turn controllers and actions into C1 Functions, without altering the MVC code in any way. This makes sense since this allow you to grab existing compiled MVC apps - or let your feature-team simply focus only on writing/testing pure ASP.NET MVC - and quickly move functionality onto C1 pages. This forced us to avoid requirements like base classes and attributes, and we had to take a different approach than the one taken by @RogroGengu and you.
We are 2-3 months away from an official release and with this we share the code, some initial documentation and a sandbox install so you and everyone else in the community can contribute or comment. The reason we didn't contribute to this particular thread earlier on was that we didn't really have anything interesting to add at that time.
