from the olive project and they are on their own timeline then? is there
a roadmap for the olive branch??

No, it will be pretty much 0% complete for 3.0 and 3.5.

The ONLY post-2.0 piece that will be available is the C# compiler which 
will support the new C# 3 language features (such as extensions and 
partial LINQ support) and the one base class library needed to support
this.

It will not support any of the 3.0 base class libraries (WCF, WF, WPF) 
or any of the new 3.5 base class libraries (other than parts of 
System.Core.dll).

I know its complicated, the thing to remember is C# 3 is not .Net 3.0 or

.Net 3.5.  It's just an enhancement to the language which shipped 
(ironically enough) in .Net 3.5.   :)

Hope this helps!
Jonathan
