[Mono-list] Resource System Proposal

[Incredible-Fish]

Another view of the whole thing....

.NET is being promoted heavily by Microsoft to a world of people dying for
"platform independence" on a level of experience Java was never able to
deliver....

.NET finally promises to bridge the gaps of all technology and languages to
give us an environment that is well structured and easy to manage....

Microsoft and many big big name companies are dead-set to make this suceed.

In comes Mono .NET implementation that runs right along side Microsoft .NET
and it's free and for Linux. Linux comes up in class with the whole .NET
scheme of things and gets real big appeal.

But oops... being Open Source everybody has made giant revisions to Mono
.NET so now we should completely rename it and not even call it .NET since
none of the binaries or stuff works on the Microsoft or <blah blah>
implementation. Jeez, we're back where we started. A seperate platform that
doesn't tie in with the (so far) winning platforms.

All those paragraphs except the last is true. The last one might happen if
this isn't done right. Like I said.... a Mono .NET project has to work on a
Microsoft .NET platform... and adhere to all the core standards so it can
run on *any* future .NET implementation....

This is very important if you want Mono to play along and everyone to play
along with Mono ...
