Okay thanks for the context :). Then the more accurate question is: is
Portable.NET
a ressource for the Mono project or are Mono project participant
encouraged to rewrite all the things that might already be coded in
pnetlib CVS?
From their web site www.dotgnu.org:
<<We're building something that could be called an "operating system for
the internet" - a collection of tools that allow software components to
interact with each other over the internet. The most impressive parts
are currently DotGNU Portable.NET which builds a C# compiler, class
library, and related development tools, and phpGroupWare, a multi-user
web-based GroupWare suite, which also serves to provide a good
collection of webservice components, all of which can be accessed
through XML-RPC so that you can easily integrate them into webservice
applications of your own.
DotGNU, a project of FreeDevelopers and GNU, is really a meta-project
that will consist of a good number of such software development
projects. The main objectives of DotGNU are to build a webservices
platform and a Virtual Identities system.
