[Mono-docs-list] Translator from monodoc XML format to Microsoft XML format

[Rodolfo Campero]

Hello everybody,

Given the fact that Kevin is working on a command-line utility to convert 
MonoDoc->MS-XML, I consider that it will be a waste of effort if I start 
coding such a tool from scratch. So in my opinion the best thing to do now 
is just wait untill Kevin finishes its work.

Do you agree?
