It seems the first announcement made about Orchard running on Mono was the last announcement, and this happened right just before the recent human resources debacle. Now that some of the dust has started to settle (I hope?), I thought I should post this.
IMO Orchard Project and Mono need to renew their relationship romance. The documentation on Orchard running on Mono appears to be based on a patched v1.0 and we're nearly at v1.2 now; needless to say, the current version of Orchard (v1.1) doesn't work on Mono. http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/247340 Further, support for running Orchard on Mono should target primarily OSX, not Linux. Orchard seems to be targeting the WordPress community, but the WP community seems to be largely a MacBook-toting community. In order for Orchard to be adopted drastically by the "standard web community" as WP already enjoys, IMO the site tooling should be the same as the design tooling, and Mac seems to be the designers' choice OS. IMO the automated building, deployment, and configuration of XSP on Mac's Apache with the Mono installer should be reprioritized. Web designers in general seem to opt for Mac, which for the last couple years has been touted as "the most ideal developer platform" by developers of varying disciplines and tools.
