[Mono-list] MySQL

[Ben Clewett]

Daniel Morgan & Rodrigo Moya,

I've downloaded and compiled Mono.Data.MySql into a .dll of that name, 
and begun looking into the source code.  --  So far this has given me 
more confidence than others I have found, espeically when the developers 
them selves are happy to write directly to me, something which has been 
a universal joy of mono for me so far.

I would be glad to help out with any development work, although at the 
moment in a capacity as a tester more than developer.  I wonder if there 
is a page/mailing list where specific topics about Mono.Data.MySql are 
discussed.  Specifically, somewhere where I can get any corrent 
documentation on how this .dll should be used?
