I swear, this should be a FAQ...

You can contribute to Mono in several ways:

The better question to ask is what would you like to do?

There are lots of things you can do:

  - Work on the class libraries.  See 
      http://www.go-mono.com/class-status.html
    The classes listed are the classes that need work, are incomplete,
    etc.  Find a namespace that interests you and start implementing.

    If you contribute to the class libraries, you should join
    mono-devel-list:

        http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

    See also:

        http://www.go-mono.com/contributing.html

    Considering your interest in databases, this might also be useful:

        http://www.go-mono.com/ado-net.html

  - Bug Fixes: See http://bugzilla.ximian.com, and look at the bugs for:
      gtk#
      Mono/Class Libraries
      Mono/Debugger
      Mono/Doctools
      Mono/mcs
      Mono/runtime

  - Documentation.  Lots is needed.  It's in the monodoc CVS module.
    See also: http://www.go-mono.com/documentation.html
    However, you might want to wait on this until the documentation
    editor is complete.

    If you contribute to Documentation, you should join mono-docs-list:

        http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-docs-list


  - HOWTOs.  These are in the monkeytalk CVS module, and can be seen at:
      http://www.go-mono.com/tutorial/html/en/index.html

  - Test Cases:  Either implement more, or fix the bugs that they are
    finding.  NUnit is used for test cases, but some are using NUnit,
    while others are using NUnit2, so I'm not sure what we should be 
    using for new test cases.

    However, I've heard that there are lots of mono bugs found by the
    current test cases, and these should be fixed.

Hope this helps.
