[Mono-devel-list] ObjectSpaces + momentum = ORM soup.

[Mark Easton]

Sweetness and light - it looks like this ObjectSpaces malarkey is
gathering some decent momentum.  As far as my investigations have taken
me I reckon the following namespaces will need to be covered at a bare
minimum:
 
System.Data.ObjectSpaces
System.Data.ObjectSpaces.Query
System.Data.ObjectSpaces.Schema
System.Data.Mapping
System.Data.Mapping.RelationalSchema

I've started writing stubs etc for the System.Data.ObjectSpaces
namespace and have so far managed to do a number of types, including:
ObjectSpace, ObjectEngine, ObjectContext, ObjectKey, ASTBaseParser,
AstKeywords, CommonObjectContext, CompiledQuery, ContextException,
ValueRecordMergeEventArgs and ValueRecordMergeEventHandler.  If Richard,
Matthew and Rafael are okay with it, I'll keep on plugging through the
System.Data.ObjectSpaces namespace and I'd recommend that if you want to
grab some of the other namespaces then we can hopefully meet in the
middle.

Also, having no Mono dev experience what's the take on uploading files
to CVS?  I know I'll need to get an account sorted and all that Jazz,
but once I've done that, is it acceptable to upload files with complete
type signatures?

Ps Out of interest, does anyone know what the release schedule is like
for whideby or is it going to be closely tied to the Longhorn or Yukon
release?
