Hi,

Thanks for the minutes. Here are some comments.

(For the record, I'm still not fond of this)

Shouldn't we replace gtk#/mono with "a binding"? This should probably be
true for other bindings too (except maybe python because we all love
python ;-)).

I'd suggest removing the details of the IN since it might sound that
we're pushing for the gnome-vfs bindings to be in the bindings suite and
there's a link to Mike's mail for the details: "IN, if Mike's split goes
through"

Thanks!
