BOGOSITY = 100%. This is crap - stop spouting this nonsense - many companies are developing code using Mono from Unity [gaming] to Quantifi [financial] to Medsphere [medical]. And many of the leading Open Source projects are in Mono: Monodevelop, F-Spot, Banshee, Tomboy, etc... The Mono ecosystem is thriving, and will do so with or without Beagle. > But Novell have a deal with MS on patents, then Novell can. Garbage. This is a claim of pure unadulterated ignorance. The "patent deal" has nothing whatsoever at-all to do with Mono. This has been explained dozens of times. An in general: <http://www.jprl.com/Blog/archive/development/mono/2009/Jan-19.html> <http://jeffreystedfast.blogspot.com/2008/02/lots-of-gnomemono-fud-lately.html> <http://www2.apebox.org/wordpress/rants/124/> That is the answer to FUD; I won't dignify any responses along those line - and spare polluting the list archives with more such foolishness. _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
