[Mono-dev] Google SoC Q

[Paul]

Hi,

Back in the 1980s, there was a fore-runner to .NET and JAVA called
Basicode[1][2]. 

This worked by each home micro having their own library to interpret,
but the program which was loaded would run in the same way on each
machine. 

Things moved on and the Basicode community sort of died a bit, but has
recently re-emerged from the depths of Europe to something starting to
be vibrant[3].

To move things on, I've proposed to create something akin to Visual
Basicode.NET in C# (using Mono of course!). It would be capable of
loading, saving and running the old Basicode material as well as
creating new Basicode apps.

Can anyone comment on if this is the sort of thing the Google SoC would
look favourably on and if it is, anyone fancy acting as the sponsor?

TTFN

Paul
