Even though I don't understand why you'd need to keep it under wraps ... I do think DotGNU has a lot in common with what you suggest ... We started off to provide a Microsoft compatible webservice framework .. later Rhys Weatherly came in with Portable.Net the C# compiler and runtime , and I jumped in (sort of pushed in by Arun) ... I'm working on the codegen, SemanticAnalysis and flow analysis of the compiler .. And I have done my bit on the runtime engine , and am currently the lead developer of the pnetlib standard libraries .... > We are creating a Global Naming and security architecture that can boast > some interesting unique features.

Hmm... our ideas of distributed execution have been put into the pipeline and Chris Smith has promised a release by next year Mid-Jan ... It will use a CIL sandboxed engine for execution , and other engines like Parrot are being kept open for inclusion... > Now, Please tell me on how can i contribute in your endeavor. http://dotgnu.org/ or http://dotgnu.info/ or ${gnu_mirror}/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/ > Anyways, Arun and Gopal, please let me know how can i contribute.

Visit http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu-pnet/ for the C# side of things. Get the CVS , hack in a few features ... submit a patch ... and all that.. We're on a stabilizing run for the 0.5.0 release , so we're keeping hands off the CVS repository and testing the patches hard .. The hackers on [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists will be more helpful for further queries ..
