Hi Arun, The project i am working on is not just a replacement/porting of .net on linux. It is much more than that. It intends to provide a highly scalable web services environment of which C# and other microsoft technologies are a small part. Some languages that are taken care of by our environment are : C++, C, COBOL, Java, C# and some things that we are keeping under wraps till it completes. We will be releasing the sofware under GNU LGPL. We are creating a Global Naming and security architecture that can boast some interesting unique features. We have options of using triple DES / IDEA as cryptosystems for the environment. And the environment makes it amazingly easy to Write distributed code. Now, Please tell me on how can i contribute in your endeavor. I will be more than willing to contribute ENERGETICALLY. Lol (One of our friends called me over-energetic). Anyways, Arun and Gopal, please let me know how can i contribute. I would love to and i have got a good following of a handfull of good programmers who will be willing to pitch in too. Free software for the brave GNU world. Regards, Tarun Gaur _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
