[Mono-dev] Request for status of Entity framework on Mono

[Martin Thwaites]

Thanks Daniel.

I'll have a look at those, but Ideally I wanted to look at Entity due to
some work projects that are currently using it (pure windows .NET and VS).
 The plan was to get the basics down in some hobby apps.

I'm currently using NHibernate, and it works well, entity does look like
fun to play with... I'm a very "ooo shiny" kinda guy.

I did see a big merge happen in the last few days by Marek, so I was hoping
that might be the start of something...

Thanks,
Martin
