The idea is good, if we can find someone to maintain the directory, I would be happy to hand out accounts to the web site. > Mentioning that we could/should add missing features ourselves, I > might try that for System.IO.UnmanagedMemoryStream (which appeared to > be missing in 1.1.16?), writing a new C# class is pretty > straightforward and does not require knowledge of previous code, but > messing around with the runtime definitely is not as easy. Someone contributed a patch for it, which is on my queue for review.
