Really good news ;-)

I have been away doing Mono talks for the last couple of days, but I
will be back at the keyboard on Monday killing bugs.

The good side of the talks is that various developers are interested in
helping out with Mono, and helping out Linux on the desktop.  

Patrik, one of the things we tried to do with GNOME was to have
applications "export" an API, so that other desktop applications could
"talk" to them.  Kind of like remoting on Windows.  We did this using
CORBA, but it turned out to be quite complex.  I am particularly excited
by the Http runtime code, because we could now have desktop applications
running a small embedded web server, and use this as a way to "call"
into these applications.

Miguel.
