For GNOME to include C# support as an optional add-on cannot hurt. It should work with Portable.NET, which is the GNU implementation of C#, and whose design is more favorable to possible integration with GCC than that of Mono is. However, it is fine to work with Mono as well.
I think it is clear that C# should not be the main or preferred language for GNOME, should not play a major or central role. Giving it such a role would be a very bad strategic move, since it would encourage a large community to move in a direction that serves our declared enemy. The hard question is whether to give C# a middle-level role--whether to let it be more than an optional add-on. The issue depends on the legal situation, and I don't know the situation enough to have an opinion. I urge the board to consult with people like Eben Moglen and Dan Ravicher before deciding this. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
