Here it is, your moment of Zen:

Monodoc 0.2, by Miguel de Icaza, Duncan Mak.

* What is this

        This is a preliminary release of the Mono Documentation
        Browser, a tool that can be used to browse the API
        documentation that is provided with Mono. 

        The new version includes vastly improved rendering, and
        includes namespace rendering, which will be very useful for
        those of you who want to document, as it is easy to spot what
        is missing.

* The documentors

        Duncan Mak, Hector Gomez, Jeffrey Stedfast, Kevin Breit, Lee
        Malabone, Martin Willemoes Hansen, Miguel de Icaza, Peter
        Williams, Raphael J. Schmid.

        We documented 71 classes, which is 10% of the effort for
        documenting Gtk#.  Some of them even with examples.

        A lot of the work has been in copying and editing the contents
        from Gtk+.   But in some places we have excelled, and we have
        incorporated more documentation from other free documentation,
        added examples, and added pointers which are missing from the
        general Gtk+ documentation.  

        We believe strongly that we can simplify vastly GUI
        development, and good documentation is a central piece of
        this effort.   Please join us in finishing this documentation
        process. 

* Details

        The current release contains two major components:

                * Base class libraries documentation.

                * Gtk# documentation.

        The current release contains documentation that was extracted
        from the ECMA specification, so it is not a complete set of
        documents for all the classes in .NET
        
        The Gtk# documentation contains stubs automatically generated,
        and thanks to the help of the great mono-docs team, progress
        is rapidly happening on this front.

* The release

        The source code is not being released, only a binary of the
        documentation browser that requires the latest version of Mono
        and Gtk#.

        The binaries are cross-platform, so they should work on any
        Mono platform with Gtk 2.x.  In addition, the GtkHTML widget
        from GNOME CVS HEAD is required (cvs co gtkhtml, on the gnome
        cvs repository).

        Those interested in the source code for Monodoc can download
        it from the Mono Anonymous CVS repository (for more details
        see: http://www.go-mono.com/anoncvs.html).
