I would be interested in participating, particularly as a containerized environment puts me on a more even footing with projects which have a lot more hardware to throw at the problem. Plus, I am in the process of porting my engine from Java to C# and will need to rewrite the interface to the KGS go server anyway, so I might as well add another. Hopefully the additional work to port the Windows C# version of ScratchGo to Mono would be minimal.
