Mono: Vincent, what do you think? Probably they're not holding us up, but maybe they'd like to see a presentation from you about status of Mono integration?
Oh geez. Um. Well, they are indeed not holding us up. In all my communication with them, they've been very helpful.
Since Microsoft appears to have taken a hostile turn towards anything released with Windows 7, WMP 10, .NET .3.5 + working with Wine, it would be very interesting to see what the Mono team's stance is on integration with Wine and the path onward. At one time it was very hostile, now it seems to have changed to at least neutral and maybe even what we call 'hallway' friendly.
I don't know that the current status of Mono integration is much to talk about.
http://wiki.winehq.org/Mono is looking good. (Think there's a Summer of Code 2011 project or two in there?)
Judging by bugzilla, there don't seem to be any large projects that would help compatibility enough to be worthwhile. All the mscoree bugs only affect one app.
Hmmm. Maybe we need to widen the 'gene pool' to see if other applications are affected.
