That's the plan.  I will be posting bugs and/or patches as we proceed.

We also plan to do an article on the porting effort once we are done,
possibly for publication but certainly for our website.  We'll send a
copy to mono list when we are done.

Thanks

Can you point us to the Mono Handbook and the FAQ errors so we can
correct them?  

As things change quickly, we have not had a chance to update everything
that references this mistaken information.

Broken

Yup, that has been my request about the Monkeyguide on mono-docs-list a
few times.

Am tempted to remove the Monkeyguide from the Mono site until a serious
editorial pass has been done.

If you could start posting bug reports to this list, with concrete urls
that are wrong, that would be a fantastic step.
