The 4e branch is exploring using PLT (portable library tools) for that as well, which in theory would allow you to compile one assembly that runs against multiple versions of .NET. including Silverlight 4 and Silverlight 4 for WP7 and hopefully MonoDroid & MonoTouch in the future.
PLT: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b0e0b5e9-e138-410b-ad10-00cb3caf4981 Porting to WP7 poses some decent challenges. The windows mobile 7 version of Silverlight does not support the [ThreadStatic] attribute, WeakReference<T>, Data Slots for threads, and and quite a few other things. No matter which approach is used, it will need more resources (time, code contributions, contributors, committers etc) from the community for it to make any substantial forward progress on a version that supports WP7 any time soon. I'm not trying to dissuade you or anyone from pursuing it, in fact it would be awesome to see mobile version of Lucene.Net. I just want people aware of the challenges to curb any frustration and offer the advice of make small milestones, keep a steady pace whatever that may be, do not go at it alone, and continuously recruit others to contribute. - Michael On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 12:02 PM, Prescott Nasser <geobmx...@hotmail.com>wrote: > I started working on it - but it was really ugly.
