Our MVP community has been quite busy creating new resouces for Visio. We'd like to highlight a few recent releases here.
In response to a newsgroup discussion on Visio's Network Rack shapes. Chris Roth (Visio MVP and former employee) has released a new shape for displaying rack unit dimensions .

Second, the latest version of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Modeler add-in has been released. To quote from the add-in description:
"The Microsoft Office Visio 2007 WBS Modeler is intended to improve the project planning process by giving the opportunity to generate Project Plans from a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) using a graphical representation of elements.
The Application enables effective integration of Microsoft Office Visio 2007 with Microsoft Office Project 2007. It provides an approach to visually and graphically create, edit and modify project plans using Visio 2007."
