[Mono-dev] Mono 3.6 release?

PS.  Ditto for the MonoDevelop.Tizen add-in and for the Tizen SDK bindings
when we have those working.

MonoTizen is not a fork or product.  It's just a manner to get Mono for
Tizen working.

I'm also working on getting Mono directly into the Tizen distro itself, as
has already happened for Qt, as a "community project".

Cheers,
Bob
