That's a bummer. Thanks for the clarification M.

Is there an updated class status page for ML4? As well as a
non-automatically generated overview of ML status? What works, what
doesn't, what's missing, you know...

Did you/Novell/Xamarin ask Microsoft to open source it? And if so, why
they said no?
