Just a quick update on the C# port of the Java code (at
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-csharp-port/)

I've just done a bit of work to get the C# code in line with the 2.1
release, with the exception of the RPC changes (which I need to take a
closer look at). There are a number of things I'd like to look at, and
I'd appreciate a little community guidance in terms of what others
would really like to see. Things I've been thinking about:

- Improving the benchmarking framework to allow benchmarking scripts
(work already in progress)
- Implementing a DLR dynamic message builder (which I'll probably do
anyway as it'll be a useful example for the 2nd edition of my C#
book :)
- Getting it all to build and run on Mono 2.4 (Windows and Linux? Just
Linux?)
- Adding a feature to protoc to allow .proto files to express imports
which shouldn't produce dependencies (so that you can use the C#
options without it affecting generation of C++/Java code)
- Using protoc with P/Invoke from protogen so that code generation is
a one-step process
- More/better documentation (including polishing the XML documentation
in the code itself)
- Binary distributions
- Assembly versioning
- Considering moving the code into the Google distribution (as
requested in http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=102)

At the moment Protocol Buffers are more "spare time" work than "20%
time" work due to new 20% projects, and I'd like to use my time as
effectively as possible - so if anyone would like to offer any
thoughts on how I might prioritise this (or any other features) I'd
really appreciate it.

Jon
