NHibernate.Spatial is a library of spatial extensions for NHibernate, and allows you to connect NHibernate to a spatially-enabled database and manipulate geometries in .NET code using NetTopologySuite, providing you with a fully integrated GIS programming experience.

For configuring your application, please refer to Configuration and Mapping on the NHForge Wiki. Furthermore you can read about sample usage. For an updated in-depth look at NHibernate.Spatial, you can read this excellent blog post written by Pedro Sousa.
For general NHibernate help, the NHibernate community website - http://nhibernate.info/ - has a range of resources to help you get started with basic NHibernate, including wikis, blogs and reference documentation.
In order to use the SpatiaLite dialect, the mod_spatialite.[dll|so] library must be available
on the PATH. To assist with cases where mod_spatialite cannot be installed on the system PATH,
the SpatiaLite driver prepends <path to NHibernate.Spatial.SpatiaLite.dll>/lib/spatialite to the
PATH.

Discussion is made through the NHibernate.Spatial Mailing List. Feel free to join in with suggestions or thoughts!
All contributors are welcome. We need help improving the current dialects, getting tests to pass, identifying and fixing bugs, and keeping the project going.
Many thanks to the following individuals, organisations and projects whose work is so important to the success of NHibernate.Spatial (in no particular order):
- NHibernate - Parent library
- NUnit - unit-testing
- GitHub and SourceForge - source code hosting
- Log4net - logging, by the Apache Software Foundation
- JetBrains - ReSharper licences for NHibernate.Spatial developers
- NetTopologySuite and GeoAPI.Net - Spatial Libraries
