Help with Ninject in mvc3!

Question

Here is my problem. My application has several projects.

• WEB (controllers and views)
• Services
• Data (edmx and repositories)
• Entities (POCO)
• Test

So in my web project I have a ninject configuration

[assembly: WebActivator.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(PublicPanama.AppStart_NinjectMVC3), "Start")]

    namespace Web{
        public static class AppStart_NinjectMVC3 {
            public static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel) {
                //kernel.Bind<IThingRepository>().To<SqlThingRepository>();
                kernel.Bind<IContributorService>().To<ContributorService>();
            }

            public static void Start() {
                // Create Ninject DI Kernel 
                IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel();

                // Register services with our Ninject DI Container
                RegisterServices(kernel);

                // Tell ASP.NET MVC 3 to use our Ninject DI Container 
                DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new NinjectServiceLocator(kernel));
            }
        }
    }

The problem is that I also want to add

kernel.Bind<IRepository>().To<Repository>();

But my web project does not have a link to the Data project .. and just adding a link for this does not seem right.

What am I missing? please, help!
