Hi Kevin,
 
You don't need a linux system to develop with mono in mono. A windows system is absolutely fine.
(Only if you want to compile the source code of mono, you'll need the free CygWin tools from http://www.cygwin.com/ )
 
The Visual Basic part in Mono is separated in two main projects:
1. The BASIC compiler
2. The class libraries (the classes in namespace Microsoft.VisualBasic)
 
Since you're an application developer, it might make sense to run and test your applications in the mono framework.
A first thing might be to execute your existing application on mono. When you find bugs, you're welcome to report them at http://www.mono-project.com/Bugs
 
There is a website available which shows the missing parts in Microsoft.VisualBasic:
http://mono.ximian.com/class-status/mono-HEAD-vs-fx-1-1/class-status-Microsoft.VisualBasic.html
http://mono.ximian.com/tests/displayTestResults.php
 
If you like to work with the latest source code, it is available via SVN. Here is a guide to get it:
http://www.mono-project.com/AnonSVN
 
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
 
Regards
Jochen

Betreff: Re: [mono-vb] Couple Questions

Whats the best way for me to help?

I am an experienced VB.net developer when it comes to application programming but I don't have a ton of extra time.

Also, I mainly work on windows platform but I am sure i could setup a vmware environment of linux if needed.

There's some small bits of support in MonoDevelop, but I still use
simple text-editors like gedit.

Mono has started implementing lots of 2.0 features, but particularly
in the VB.NET (mbas) front we are still focusing on completing 1.x
compliance.

Help joyfully accepted,
