Hi! Nice to meet you Joe! And thank you very much for a detailed list.
Much of the development in .net is not yet defined as the plans are there but not much planning beyond that is happening yet. I am experienced in Linux and have done programming using different scripting languages and programming languages so I'm perfectly comfortable on the platform. I have read indeed that .NET 3.5 is not yet supported in Mono 2.0 so at least I can bring that up when discussions do take place about the project. Right now I am trying to keep my option to stay in the Linux platform as much as possible. Thank you for your thoughts on this. If others want to add to it, I am very much open to other ideas.
