Re: Article Idea: Fedora including Mono in FC 5

[Claus Schwarm <c schwarm gmx net>]

Hi, Thomas!

Welcome to the list! :-)

Your idea is really cool: The technology is hot, flame-wars raging
across the internet, and now a major player is making a move. And this
is also why it's bloody complicated to write about it.

Are you interested to do this, or is this more a general idea about
nice-to-have stuff?


Cheers,
Claus
