[Mono-dev] Cloud Based Solution

[Keerthi Bharath]

Rafael,

Thanks for your input. Actually I was thinking of doing it as part of GSoc.
Actually the Azure is in CTP and the addin tool currently released,
replicates what the application can do in the cloud instead of the actual
implementation.
Could you please give me some pointers on how to proceed with the Azure
development runtime. I assume it is similar to Asp.net runtime.
You could have run in to the same kind of problems and solutions while
designing the runtime. It would help me a lot.

Thanks,
Keerthi
