I have been working since the beginning on this exciting project as a part of the Microsoft Pattern & Practices Team.
If you want to build services using the best pratices and guidance you should check this project. It basically provides you patterns and tools to help designing and authoring WCF and ASMX services.
I will be posting information about this project on my blog, but you can also check the Service Factory workspace.
