[Mono-dev] Qt anyone?

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi Arno,

I think Qyoto is a really great initiative and a really strong point to 
make Mono shine.

But I wonder if you have plans (and resources) to:

- Relaunch a website with information/tutorials/downloads. It doesn't 
matter how good Qyoto is if no one can easily find it.
- Publish builds on the different OSs. IMHO what makes Qyoto rock is 
being able to create native GUIs for Solaris/Linux/Windows/Mac with a 
single codebase and minor tweaks. If we only have Linux, then sticking 
to WinForms or GTK# is still better, if only Mac I guess monoobjc is the 
right solution, and so on.

I think monoobjc is the perfect example: they've a solid website, full 
of samples, which gives a very good feeling when you enter it. You 
immediately think "hey, this is a solid solution".

Regards,

pablo
