I'll take this opportunity to: a) plug the fact that I've written a basic bot framework in C# that works on .NET just as well as it works in Mono on the toolserver: http://code.google.com/p/mediawikiengine/
b) mention that I think that a Windows server is a great idea and would open the Toolserver resource to people who've grown up with Windows and don't know the first thing about Unix -- this is pretty common for folks who didn't learn computers in a computer science program in college. -ilya On Feb 6, 2008 10:21 AM, Francine R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think the best solution may be to make the toolserver's existing > support for Mono more widely known, and encourage our .NET gurus to take > a look. :) Mono should be source- and even binary- compatible with much > existing wiki-related .NET code, as long as it doesn't rely on stuff > like the IE WebBrowser control; most of AWB's WikiFunctions.dll seems to > function for example.
