I've split the review into 5 sections, 2 with reviews ready: - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13751: ancillary ports - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13752: mono (and USES=mono) - msbuild (depends on mono) - fsharp (depends on msbuild) - monodevelop (depends on msbuild) I suggest you focus on mono, I'll bang out the ancillary ports (hopefully tomorrow). > > Russ > > I am willing to help test.

You can test by: - running the unit tests (i.e. `make test`) - run your favourite mono apps - try some random mono apps in the ports collection > > > DotNet Core 2 > > > > > > Tomas from MS has been building out the Core Framework (corefx) and > > > has an "Frankensteins Monster" SDK ready for testing.
