[Mono-list] Re: System.Web.Services in Mono

[Tim Coleman]

I didn't really have a direction to go in when developing
the web services code.  My main intent was to stub out
as much as I could and implement the parts that I understood.

If you have a specific goal in mind, go for it.  Start small,
define a particular target and then achieve it.  I can't
really suggest much more than that.

Before you get to deep into things, you could discuss ideas
on the Mono mailing lists (I have cc'd this response on
mono-list), as well as on the Mono IRC channel (irc.gnome.org #mono).  

Mono is always looking for developers willing to help.  I'm not
actively developing web services, nor am I likely to in the near
future.  The project is yours for the taking if you are interested.

Thanks,

Tim
