[Mono-dev] .NET API documentation

Hello guys,

Today we launched Xamarin 3, and as part of this release, we are announcing
a big contribution from Microsoft.

Microsoft has released the .NET API documentation under a Creative Commons
license.

This means a few things:

   - Mono now has complete docs for use on Mac and Linux

   - MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio will now provide full docs during
   code-completion while editing the source code.

Many thanks should go to Bryan Costanich that nursed this process and to
 our friends at Microsoft that made this possible.   Including Scott
Guthrie, S Somasegar, Richard Lander and everyone that did the work to get
us the bits.

The documentation is checked into mono/mcs/class, on their respective
assemblies.

While we have imported most of the documentation now, our importing tools
still fail in a handful of cases, so you will see the documentation get
more and more in shape in the next couple of weeks.   We will also start to
integrate the various off-line samples that are part of the documentation.

Cheers!
Miguel
