[Mono-list] Updating or Redoing go-mono.net

[Tom Cabanski]

That's the plan.  I will be posting bugs and/or patches as we proceed.

We also plan to do an article on the porting effort once we are done,
possibly for publication but certainly for our website.  We'll send a
copy to mono list when we are done.

Thanks

Can you point us to the Mono Handbook and the FAQ errors so we can
correct them? =20

As things change quickly, we have not had a chance to update everything
that references this mistaken information.

Yup, that has been my request about the Monkeyguide on mono-docs-list a
few times.

Am tempted to remove the Monkeyguide from the Mono site until a serious
editorial pass has been done.

If you could start posting bug reports to this list, with concrete urls
that are wrong, that would be a fantastic step.
